Ex-CIO boss accused of rape interrogated

THE former Central Intelligence Organisation director of economics, who is being accused of raping his 12-year-old stepdaughter, was put to his defence after his application for discharge at the close of State case was dismissed.

While testifying in his defence, he denied the offence and claimed that the minor was misbehaving and could have been deflowered by a boy next door.

A medical affidavit confirmed that the minor was penetrated but the former spy denied the offence saying the claim was falsified to have him lose his property.
