Ludhiana, July 10

An alleged victim of rape held a protest outside the Police Division 6, demanding registration of an FIR against Lok Insaaf Party (LIP) MLA Simarjit Singh Bains.

The woman, accompanied by members of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), raised slogans against the police for not complying to the directions of a local court which had ordered the police to register a case against Bains.

The woman alleged two days ago, the court had directed the Ludhiana police to register a rape case against the MLA but the police seem to be hand in glove with the politician and adopting a dilly-dallying attitude in the matter.

“When I asked police personnel at the police station to give me a copy of the FIR, they said the FIR was being registered but due to some technical fault in computer, the same could not be registered,” she alleged.

Notably, the woman has been sitting on dharna outside the office of Police Commissioner Rakesh Agrawal from months, demanding registration of a rape case against the MLA. She is being supported by SAD leaders.
