In
the distressing turn of events in Rajasthan's Alwar district, a grave crime has
surfaced where three police constables stand accused of a year-long rape of an 18-year-old
woman. This heinous act has stirred shock and outrage across the community.
Superintendent
of Police (SP) Anand
Sharma, addressing the media, disclosed the horrifying details of this
incident that shook the region. According to official statements provided by
PTI, the victim bravely came forward on Saturday evening to lodge a complaint
against the three policemen.
The
victim, in her statement, detailed the traumatic experience of enduring
repeated assaults by the accused officers for more than a year. What's even
more appalling is the allegation that the perpetrators threatened her, coercing
her into silence by threatening to falsely implicate her brother in a
fabricated case.
The accused officers, identified as serving at different police stations within the district, were immediately withdrawn from their duties and attached to the Police Lines pending the investigation's progress. The case has been formally registered under severe sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 376-D (gang rape), along with provisions from the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, at the Raini police station.
