UP rape victim raped by Cops probing the casePervez Iqbal Siddiqui, TNN | Dec 25, 2012, 12.51 AM IST


Akbarpur police station in Ambedkar Nagar, was arrested on December 14 from a hotel in Faizabad by SSP D S Yadav. The arrest came after the SSP was informed that the cop had brought the gang-rape victim from Ambedkar Nagar to the hotel and was raping her. The victim was rescued from the room after the cop was caught with his pants down. Now the rape victim has alleged that in-charge of the Akbarpur Kotwali, inspector AK Upadhyay, had also raped her. 

As per the woman, she was gang-raped in Ambedkar Nagar last month. Her family had lodged an FIR in this connection at the Akbarpur police station. Maan Singh was the IO of the case. Allegations are that after the police failed to initiate any action against the accused, the victim approached the SSI who promised to help her. 

He then suggested that she should accompany him to Faizabad and appear before the deputy inspector general (DIG) Faizabad Range of which Ambedkar Nagar district police is a part. The unsuspecting victim agreed and accompanied Maan Singh to Faizabad. The cop took the victim to the hotel and raped her. During her ordeal, the woman somehow managed to send a message to her neighbour in Ambedkar Nagar, who contacted the Faizabad SSP. 

The girl has now alleged that by the time the SSP raided the hotel and arrested Maan Singh, she had already been raped by Upadhyay as well. Upadhyay is the immediate boss of Maan Singh. The victim, in her letter to the senior officers, has alleged that though she had provided this information to the officer investigating the rape case against Maan Singh, no action has been initiated against the accused inspector. 

The woman has now alleged that since the matter was related to the police department, she was being threatened not to testify against the arrested SSI before the court and was also under pressure not to raise the issue of the inspector's involvement. 

Faizabad city SP Subhash Singh Baghel said he was getting the charges verified. "Whosoever involved will not be spared.'

Lack of laws against rapist are actually encouraging it.

We like to forget about our own backyard; that's why it seems there is more outrage among Nepalese against delhi rape than the rapes, abuses, live-burnings occuring in Nepal. I am not saying that delhi rape is less worthy to discuss; it was a very horrible brutal crime, people there are promptly protesting for the cause. We hardly see such outrage in Nepal except those organized by bunch of moron politicians. Sure, there will be great politicians giving shelter to these criminals. Kamal Thapa is giving shelter to the criminal brother of the burned muslim girl.
