Venkatesh, working as the driver of a commercial tax officer, allegedly drugged the girl, raped her and later threw her out of a car near a church in Narayanguda, from where he had picked her up earlier.
Police investigations revealed that Venkatesh took her to the cellar of the commercial tax office building and raped her there.
The girl, who was staying in an old-age home with her blind mother, had gone to the church with her for prayers. She was later found near the church, profusely bleeding.
While the girl’s mother was sitting in the church, she went out after receiving a call on her mobile phone.
