New Delhi: In a rather unusual case, an FIR was lodged against multiple generations of a family for a distressing rape and assault case. The accused include the 90-year-old grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away two decades ago.
The case was lodged based on a complaint by the 19-year-old survivor’s father. He alleged that a 23-year-old man from their village sexually assaulted a young woman over a period of nearly two years, under the false promise of marriage.
“Recently, when she put pressure on him to get married, the man took my daughter to a nearby farm on May 31 and raped her while two of his cousins stood guard and threatened to kill her, adding, “a week later, on June 7, she narrated her ordeal to me. When we approached the man’s family, we were brutally beaten up and warned not to report the matter to police,” News18 reported.
The victim’s father went ahead and lodged a complaint with police who filed an FIR against 10 members of the family.
On Wednesday, the accused family met Bulandshahr senior superintendent of police Shlok Kumar, who directed officers concerned to look into the matter and conduct a fair probe.
Station house officer (SHO) of Ahar police station, Nishaan Singh, said, “On the basis of a complaint, a case was registered under IPC sections 376 (rape), 147 (rioting), 323 (causing hurt), 504 (breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation). All those named in the FIR have been accused in the written complaint received by the police. Their involvement in the crime will be investigated and appropriate action taken accordingly.”
He said, “We are also verifying the family’s claim regarding the accused who is dead. Teams have been formed and raids are being conducted to arrest the main accused,” he further added.
