The victim had registered an FIR on November 27 against a paying guest owner of Sector-39 locality alleging that he had raped her at gun point on November 26.

The victim has alleged that Gurgaon police commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk did not listen to her plight and said that he cannot do anything in this matter. She said that he asked her to leave the office and when she refused to leave, he called a PCR van which took her to the women police station.

"Gurgaon police has relentlessly applied pressure on me to leave the city and go back to my native place in Ludhiana. The officers have also called my father to the city otherwise I will be sent to a women observation home", the victim alleged.

She adds, "After taking me from the police commissioner's office, some officers went to the PG without registering the FIR and continuously applied pressure on me to leave the city. They also refused to register an FIR on the basis of my application until I went with a woman lawyer to the ACP Sadar office."

ACP Dharna Yadav has ordered women police station to register the FIR against PG owner Dharamveer Thakran. The police also conducted a medical test of the victim which confirms rape.

"Gurgaon police has treated me as an accused in this case. They gave Thakran a chair to sit and served tea in the women police station and I was asked to sit on the floor", she claimed.
