UP: 35-year-old gang-rape victim alleges rape by sub-inspector in police station

A 35-year-old woman, who was allegedly gangraped, has claimed that she was raped again by a sub-inspector when she went to a police station to lodge a complaint.

As maintained by the victim, the sub-inspector took her to an adjoining room on the pretext of filing her complaint and sexually assaulted her. The alleged incident happened at the police station on 30th November.

Additional Director General of Police (ADG) of Bareilly, Avinash Chandra, has given the order to inquiry about the complaint of the woman.

Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar stated that the 'allegations are serious' and police are looking into the matter.

As per the woman, she was gang-raped by five men on 30th November. "The five accused forcibly dragged me inside the car, took me to a nearby field and raped me. Soon after that, I went to the police station where the sub-inspector also raped me."

Furthermore, She stated that when the local police refused to register a case, she approached senior officers. She met ADG Avinash Chandra who then ordered an investigation.

A senior police official, on condition of anonymity, stated, "The woman is being used to settle scores. She had already registered four cases of sexual assaults in Shahjahanpur and had given over two dozen complaints so far. A circle officer is already investigating one of her recent complaints."

"The woman never approached us with the complaint against the sub-inspector. She directly went to the ADG. She has already registered a few complaints of sexual assault and all the cases are under investigation. The circle officer of Jalalabad has been asked to probe the gang-rape complaint and submit a detailed report," Shahjahanpur SSP said.
