Youth jailed for rape,sodomy of girl; role of sister,mother under scan

“The evidence of the girl inspires confidence and is reliable. From the evidence,prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against Singh that he had kidnapped her with the intention to have illicit intercourse with him,” the court said,while also imposing a fine of Rs 6,000 on him.

According to police,Singh kidnapped the minor girl on March 22,2010 from near her house in West Delhi,where she used to work as a maid and took her to his sister’s house in UP and raped her there several times.

The girl told the court that Singh had kidnapped her when she on her way to work. He kidnapped her after making her unconscious,she said adding he had told her he would soon marry her and had also threatened her with dire consequences if she would not listen to him.

She said Singh’s sister had turned them out of the house after two days due to the fear of being apprehended by the police and then she was taken to his mother’s house.

On March 30,2010,Singh was arrested from his mother’s house and she was brought to Delhi.

Singh denied the allegations against him and said the girl had accompanied him with her own free will and sought leniency on the ground that he has to look after aged parents.

ASJ Gupta,however,noted that there was no evidence to prove that the girl had gone with him with her own free will and he had not enticed her in any way.
