Rape survivor seeks protection from cops after series of threats
TNN | Jan 25, 2019, 07:16 ISTGhaziabad: A 26-year-old rape survivor has sought police protection against two men who sexually assaulted her and an accomplice of theirs. She claimed they came to her house three days ago and threatened her with consequences if she did not withdraw her complaint.
The woman, in her complaint to the SSP, said Taslim and Shakil had raped her at knifepoint in her house on February 4, 2015.
Her husband and relatives had gone out of the city that day. An FIR was registered against the duo at Masuri police station the next morning under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
The woman added that Taslim, who has several cases registered against him in Hapur and Ghaziabad, had also trespassed into her house and assaulted her a year back. An FIR was registered at Masuri police station after this complaint as well.
“The two have been after my life and are intimidating my husband to back out from the cases. They have a long list of criminal cases against them and even our relatives and neighbours are afraid of supporting us. This Monday, the duo and their accomplice Gulfam once again threatened to kill me,” the woman claimed.
The woman submitted an application at the SSP’s office on Wednesday and sought police protection. She threatened to commit suicide if police did not act.
The woman’s husband said he fears for the lives of his wife and their four children as work keeps him out of the house for long hours.
A senior police officer said appropriate action would be taken in the matter.
