Rape-on-wheels case: Two more turn hostile,six so far

The second witness,Sameena who also turned hostile on Monday submitted that she is not the victim’s friend and neither knows the accused nor the victim. In August 2002,the Chandigarh Police had registered a case against former Home Secretary N K Jain and four others for hatching a conspiracy to frame a Sector 8-based businessman M K Jain in the rape case.

The victim in her complaint had alleged that M K Jain took her from a computer centre at Sector 20 on the pretext of providing her a job. She had claimed that the accused gave her a cold drink laced with intoxicant on the way to Panchkula and later raped and dumped her near Sector 33 petrol station. Investigation carried out by the Chandigarh Police found that the victim was not raped by M K Jain,but by the former UT Home Secretary N K Jain,who along with others had hatched a conspiracy to falsely implicate MK Jain in the case.

A Chandigarh district court had framed charges of gangrape and criminal conspiracy against N K Jain,Ram Lal,Narvir Singh,Surinder Sharma and Baldev Kumar in the case.
