Woman raped on pretext of job, no FIR yet

Greater Noida: A 20-year-old woman has accused a Greater Noida resident of raping her since May this year on the pretext of giving her job. She also alleged that despite filing a complaint in the case 14 days ago, the police have not lodged an FIR yet.
The woman is a native of Bijnor district in Uttar Pradesh and lives in a paying guest accommodation in the city's Sector Alpha 1 area. The law graduate told TOI that after finishing her studies from a city-based college she had been giving private tuitions to locality’s children.
In her complaint, she stated that in May this year, the accused befriended her on social media after introducing himself as the managing director of an IT firm and offered her a job for which he called her for an interview in a highrise flat in Sector 134.
However, she said when she reached there, she found there was nobody present in the house except the accused. “I realised it was his house and he told me that he lives alone there. He said he would give me a job as per my qualifications in his company and asked me to trust him. Later, he had physical relations with me after luring me and making similar promises,” she said, adding that he secretly shot a video which he used to further blackmail and sexually harass her.
She said he never showed her the video but always threatened to post it on the internet. “On June 2, he picked me up from my PG in his car and punched me in the head after I resisted his sexual activities,” she said. “He punched me six-seven times due to which I started feeling dizzy. He later dropped me home but threatened to kill me if I tried to inform the police,” said the woman.
In the following months, the woman claimed she slipped into a state of depression due to continuously threatening calls and messages that the accused was sending her. With the help of her brother’s support, she finally gathered the courage to file a complaint against him on September 1 at Sector Beta 2 police station, but the cops did not register an FIR.
On Monday, she again tweeted her complaint to chief minister Yogi Adityanath seeking action in her case.
“I have several pieces of evidence, including call recordings and chats which I have already given to the police. They can also check the CCTV cameras of my society’s gate and the places he took me, but instead of doing all this, the police are only troubling me,” she said.
Meanwhile, Brij Nangar Rai, the ACP of zone 3 said they have recorded the statement of the woman. “The investigation is taking time since the complaint was filed months after the incident. An FIR will soon be lodged and arrests will also be made if allegations are proved to be true,” he said.
