13-year-old UP girl allegedly raped by cop at police station when she went to file rape case

ललितपुर में एक 13 साल की बच्ची के साथ गैंगरेप और फिर शिकायत लेकर जाने पर थानेदार द्वारा बलात्कार की घटना दिखाती है कि “बुलडोजर” के शोर में कानून व्यवस्था के असल सुधारों को कैसे दबाया जा रहा है।

अगर महिलाओं के लिए थाने ही सुरक्षित नहीं होंगे तो वो शिकायत लेकर जाएंगी कहां?…1/3 pic.twitter.com/4QWrmRS9SP

“The aunt and two men have been arrested. Raids are on to trace the other accused,” said Lalitpur’s superintendent of police Nikhil Pathak. “It is part of our investigation to find out why the rape case was not filed when the victim reached the police station for the first time (April 26),” said Lalitput’s Superintendent of Police Nikhil Pathak.

According to the police, the girl’s mother filed a complaint saying that on April 22, four local men kidnapped her daughter and took her to Bhopal. They stayed in Bhopal for three days and allegedly raped her.

On April 26, the men left the girl at the local police station and she was handed over to her aunt. A day later, the police called the girl to the police station to record her statement. In the evening, the girl’s aunt took her to the station house officer’s room, where he raped her, the complaint has alleged.

Once again, the girl was handed back to her aunt and her parents were allegedly kept in the dark. On April 30, the police handed the girl over to the Childline team for counselling and she narrated her ordeal.
