Jun 22 2017 : The Times of India (Mumbai) Cop `seeks sex' from rape survivor for action in case Nazar Abbas Rampur (UP) TNN A 37-year-old woman, who was raped by two men early this year, had gone to the investigating officer (IO) at Rampur's Ganj police station for help. She said her rapists were roaming freely and she feared for her life. She begged for her tormentors to be arrested.The officer allegedly asked her to first have sex with him before he took action against accused. When the woman refused, there was another shock waiting for her. The sub-inspector, Jai Prakash Singh, filed a closure report. Helpless and with nowhere to go, she then approached the officer again, only this time recording her conversations with him. TOI has a copy of the recording.Armed with evidence, she went to the SP on Wednesday , who has now ordered an inquiry against the IO. Additional superinten dent of police Sudha Singh told TOI, “Ganj station officer has been asked to investigate the matter against the SI and submit a report.“ According to police, the woman was gang-raped by two men, one of whom was known to her, on the night of February 12.Even then, police had first refused to lodge an FIR. It was only when she approached a local court a week later that a case was registered. On February 21, two persons were booked under IPC's sections 376 (D) (gangrape), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation). She also recorded her statement before a magistrate. The rape survivor told TOI, “Whenever I approa ched SI Jai Prakash Singh se eking arrest of the accused, he would say he first wanted to have sex with me. He even called up on my mobile phone and invited me to visit him in his room alone. When I tur ned him down, he filed a closure report in the case a fortnight ago.“ She added, “He would ask about the rape sequence time and again, po sing objectionable questions on the details. Then he told , me, `Tum pahley meri hasrat . puri karo, tab mulzim pakday jayenge' (First you fulfill my desire, I will then arrest the accused).“ When it became unbearable, she began to secretly record his conversations and finally handed over a CD to the SP . Rampur superintendent of police Vipin Tada said, “Prima facie, the voice in the audio clip doesn't match with the SI's. But we will probe her charges thoroughly .“ -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
