A total of four special teams have been formed to nab the accused who is currently at large.

The accused tied up the woman with a scarf. According to them, the accused raped her at the knifepoint and inserted the iron rod when the woman told him that she was infected with HIV. The accused further assaulted the woman and fled from the scene, reported The Times of India.

“As per the preliminary probe, the incident took place between 3:30 pm and 4 pm on Thursday when the accused entered the victim’s residence seeking drinking water, during which he forced himself on the woman,” Macherla Town CI Venkata Ramana said, the media report added.
