Gorakhpur:
Two unidentified policemen allegedly raped a 20-year-old woman in a hotel room near a railway station in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur.
The incident took place on Thursday after which the woman informed her family members. The FIR was registered in the matter on Friday, police said.
A case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including gang rape has been registered against two unidentified police men at the Gorakhnath police station, they said.
No arrests have been made so far in this connection, the police added.
Members of various political parties including Congress, Samajwadi Party, BSP and Purvanchal Sena staged a sit-in demonstration at the office of the district magistrate (DM) demanding suspension of all staff members of the Gorakhnath police station as well as a magisterial probe into the matter.
"The girl is undergoing treatment at the district hospital. She has made serious allegation of rape by two policemen. During investigation we found that the hotel has CCTV footage and also took the statement of guard," SSP Gorakhpur, Sunil Kumar Gupta said.
"Prima facie, the woman went to the hotel room willingly with some men. However, a probe is underway and culprits won't be spared," he said.
The woman told media that both the policemen thrashed her and accused her of being involved in prostitution.
She claimed that she requested them to leave her but they beat her and raped her. Later, they asked her to go home in an autorickshaw.
The survivor also told media and investigating policemen that she will be able to identify the hotel room where the crime took place as well as the two policemen who allegedly raped her.
The woman said she runs coaching classes at her home and her father is a labourer.
