Cop `seeks sex' from rape survivor for action in case

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 .“
