Woman accuses SHO,four other cops of rape

The woman,who resides in a slum in Inderpuri,had alleged that she was taken to the Inderpuri station on Monday night by two policemen to enquire about her husband,who,the police said,was a “local criminal involved in betting”.

“They took me to the lock-up,locked me inside and started hurling abuses at me besides thrashing me. Then they took me upstairs and raped me one by one. The SHO also raped me besides four other men in uniform. I can recognise them by face,” the woman told reporters.

She claimed that they let her off after threatening her with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone. The woman said she informed her husband who took her to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. The husband said hospital authorities asked him to inform police.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-West) Kannan Jagadeeshan said they were yet to register a case as they were awaiting the woman’s medical examination report.

“The investigations have been transfered to the Crime Branch as the allegations were against the SHO and other policemen. The SHO has been transfered to the Police Lines,” informed Jagadeeshan.

He claimed the woman had not approached police and they could not record her statement. “We could not record her statement due to the law and order situation in the area,” he said.

The allegations have triggered violent protests in Inderpuri with about 300 people pelting stones at the police station. The sign board of the police station was damaged. A number of vehicles were also damaged in the violence.

The protests had begun on Monday night and people had ransacked the police station. Adequate police personnel have been deployed in the locality.

The woman’s husband said she was inconsolable and told him about the whole incident. “We took her to the hospital where doctors are treating her. I informed the police but they did not register any complaint,” he alleged.

RML Medical Superintendent N K Chaturvedi said that they have handed over the medical report to the investigating officer.

Chaturvedi did not reveal the contents but sources said the preliminary report did not confirm rape.
