  • Even after her brother-in-law died, police didn't release the victim until July 10.

    They held her captive illegally, and tortured her, she alleged.

    "After taking me to the Sardarshahar police station, police started thrashing me. After 11 pm, five-six policemen came in drunk, stripped and raped me. The men included the SHO. They didn't listen to my pleas," the survivor told the daily.

  • Threats

  • Further, the woman alleged that policemen injected her with some drug which made her lose consciousness.

    She also claimed that officers took her thumb impression on blank papers and gave her death threats.

    "When I resisted their attempts to rape me, they said they would burn me by pouring petrol on me and gave me electric shocks," the woman added.

  • Details

    Accused officers didn't pay attention to female constable's requests either

  • Moreover, the woman claimed she saw policemen bringing a rope to hang her brother-in-law.

    The victim said a woman constable tried to stop the officers, but they told her to shut up.

    "We want immediate arrest of those policemen... They should be punished, hanged for what they did," the woman said.

    Her husband, who is reportedly in his late 30s, agreed.

    But Congress MLA Bhanwarlal Sharma claimed the rape allegations were untrue.

  • Quote

    After she was doubted, victim asked why would she lie

  • To those who questioned her story, the victim said, "Don't you see the bruises? Where have my nails gone then? Why would I say that I was raped, risk threats if the incident didn't happen?"
