In a shocking incident that has happened in Rajasthan, a 26-year-old woman was allegedly raped for three days by a sub-inspector of Rajasthan police after she went to lodge a complaint at a police station in the Alwar district, said officials on Monday. This incident reveals the deteriorating law and order situation in the congress-ruled state.
The crime allegedly took place at the compound of the police station, where the accused sub-inspector lived, said the police.
“In 2018, she had filed a case of dowry harassment against her husband which was later settled. But now according to her, the woman’s husband wanted to give her divorce and she was not agreeing. The complainant had come to the police station and contacted the sub-inspector regarding lodging of a complaint in this matter,” said Alwar Superintendent of Police.
The police said that the FIR in the matter was lodged on Sunday.
“After we came to know about the incident, an FIR was lodged on Sunday under section 376 (rape) IPC, and Singh was arrested. He is in police custody. A phone recording has also been presented by the woman, which has prima facie verified her accusations,” said Alwar SP.
“The process of suspension and other disciplinary action against Singh has been initiated from the office of the inspector general. We are also in the process of taking action against the SHO. We are also considering sending to police lines all the staff at the police station who have been posted there for more than one year,” Alwar SP said.
The police informed that the investigation is in progress.
