Rape victim lied to gain sympathy
In a new twist to the sensational Mansa rape case, the police on Friday found that the woman, who was allegedly gang-raped at Budhlada in Mansa district of Punjab, was neither a nurse nor employed at New Delhi-based Safdarjung hospital where the December 2012 rape victim was treated.
The Mansa police team, which had gone to Delhi to handover the victim to her family, found that she was not working as nurse at Safdarjung hospital, a finding that is contrary to her statement to the police on Tuesday.
"The investigations revealed that the victim had lied about her age, occupation and name. She is not an employee of Safdarjung Hospital and works as a domestic help. Her actual age is 23 and not 33 as stated by her in the statement. She was married four years back and has a child who lives with her parents. She was living separate from her husband and her parents also did not accept her," DSP, Bulada, Gurmeet Kaur, who headed the police team, told MAIL TODAY.
The police claim that the rape victim lied to gain sympathy. She had also lied about her real name.
"She refused to undergo a medical test but narrated the incident before the chief judicial magistrate (CJM). We have handed over her to her parents at Kotla Mubarakpur police station. Further investigations are on.
The court had refused to send the rape victim to Nari Niketan and ordered the police to handover the victim to her parents.
Seeta (not her real name) alleges was gang-raped by two men in Budlada under Mansa district on the the intervening night of Monday- Tuesday.
She had alleged on Tuesday that she was raped in the fields of Gurne village near Budladha town of Mansa.
The victim alleged that she had come to Mansa to meet her old friend who is a nurse. Budlada police have arrested two men. They have confessed having raped the victim and are currently on police remand
