MEERUT: It took two days for a Dalit village woman of Bijnor district to get an FIR registered after running from one police station to another. She claimed that she was abducted and gangraped on Sunday. But every time, she was told by officials that the spot of crime did not fall in their jurisdiction.
The 22-year-old newly married woman had gone out of her house at Faridpur Dullah village to buy some medicines. On her way back home, she alleged two youths belonging to a minority community forcibly abducted her in a car, took her to an isolated spot where a few more men were present. There, she was gangraped by half a dozen men throughout the night. In the morning, they left her on the spot and fled.
She somehow managed to reach home and narrate the incident to her family members. But her torment did not end there.
When her relatives tried to file an FIR at Kotwali police station, they were asked to go to Kotwali (rural). Throughout Monday, the woman and her family kept moving from one police station to another but her report was not registered.
Finally, on Tuesday morning, they approached SP, Bijnor, HN Singh who ordered registration of an FIR against the six men, including Laalu and Intizaar, who allegedly abducted her.
The incident has now taken a political hue after BJP's district general secretary Subhash Valmiki along with RSS member Mayank Mayur met with her family.
Subhash Valmiki said, "The woman had been moving from one police station to another for the last two days and no one was there to help her. We have demanded strict action against the accused otherwise such incidents only lead to law and order problem."
Station officer of Kotwali police station Sanjay Tomar said, "The woman has been sent for medical examination at the district hospital while raids are being conducted on the houses of the culprits who are currently at large. We will soon arrest them."
Meanwhile, police have been deployed at the village to maintain peace.
