HYDERABAD: A 45-year-old software professional was arrested by the Jubilee Hills police for allegedly misbehaving with his children. The alleged abuse—which occurred three years ago—came to light when the victim’s mother took them to a child psychologist.
The accused is a native of Warangal and is currently residing at Jubilee Hills. In 2003, he married a woman from Venkatagiri in Jubilee Hills and they lived in the US till 2010, where he was working.
According to Jubilee Hills inspector S Rajasekhar Reddy, the couple returned to India in 2010 and settled in Jubilee Hills along with their two children. From 2018, due to personal problems, the wife and husband started living separately. “Recently, the mother noticed that the children were emotionally not keeping well and took them to a child psychologist,” the inspector said.
During the counselling, the children alleged that their father and his friend had misbehaved with them three years ago by making them remove their clothes and touching them inappropriately. The children’s mother lodged a complaint with Jubilee Hills police on Sunday. Police said the friend is absconding.
