Arrested Dalit woman alleges rape by cops Milind Ghatwai Posted online: Friday , Jun 05, 2009 at 0148 hrs Bhopal : A Dalit woman, who had been arrested in connection with a dowry case, has alleged that four policemen raped her inside a police station in Betul district early Wednesday. The 48-year-old resident of Jambada village said she was forced to spend the night in the Amla police station because the police told her it was too late to go to Betul, after a court sent her to judicial custody on Tuesday. The victim alleged that the cops were drunk and had raped her at night. When taken to the Betul jail, she told the jailer about the incident. Jailer Ramsarup Sharma recorded her statement and sent a written complaint to Betul SP J S Sanswal on Thursday. Sanswal told The Indian Express that an FIR has been registered in a special police station that deals with cases of atrocities against Scheduled Castes. The police are awaiting the result of the victim’s medical examination. In her statement, she had named one Mishra and three others as the alleged rapists. An offence under Section 376 has been registered against them, and head constable Mishra and the police station in-charge have been removed from duty to facilitate investigation. ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
