On November 21, three local youths identified as Hitesh Galav, Arjun Nagar and Deendayal Sharma allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped her.
The ordeal of a 16-year-old of rape victim of Beelkheda village in Baran district shows no signs of ending. The victim and her father have been running from pillar to post since November 21 for justice but to no avail. In fact, the alleged rapists are roaming freely and even threatening the girl and her father. The girl, who wants to continue her education, has even stopped going to school because of social stigma and threats.
The victim was sent to her aunty’s home nearby Narhgarh town to study at a private school. On November 21, three local youths identified as Hitesh Galav, Arjun Nagar and Deendayal Sharma allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped her.
The father of the victim alleged that the Narhgarh police lodged a false case under Section 366 of IPC instead of rape under Section 376 of IPC and sections of POSCO Act. The victim even claimed that she was threatened by the police personnel and the ‘powerful’ accused and forced her to record statements under Section 164 before the Kishanganj magistrate that one of the three accused was her husband and she had left home with him on her own wish and that nothing wrong was committed with her. The victim’s father said being illiterate, he could not understand what case the police had lodged and his daughter said in her statements under Section 164.
The Nahargarh police on December 1, 2017, submitted the charge sheet with the final report in the matter.
The victim’s father later filed a complaint at a local court at Kishanganj town of Baran district, demanding that the case should be registered under Section 376 of IPC and sections of POSCO Act. Following this, the judicial magistrate, Kishanganj court, on January 5 this year directed S.P. Baran to investigate the matter and to lodge the case under relevant sections but the court order has not reached so far to the police station concerned for investigation.
“We have met the S.P. Baran and submitted memorandum in the matter to Kota range IG Vishal Bansal and even complained to court but haven’t got any relief,” victim’s father said.
When contacted, S.P. Baran D.D. Singh said the victim did not admit to rape and abduction in her statements under Section 164 following which the final report was submitted. On court’s order to re-investigate in the matter, S.P. said reply to the court with the victim’s statements before the magistrate under Section 164 will be sent to Kishanganj court.
