GURGAON: POLICE BOOKED THE SENIOR OFFICIAL WHO HAD THREATENED HER WITH ‘VIDEO OF THE ACT’

A senior official of a company with its office in Gurgaon’s Sohna road was booked for allegedly raping an HR manager, forcing her to engage in unnatural sex, and threatenin­g her when she refused to give in to his demands. The accused is her reporting manager, police said.

According to the complainan­t, the accused also claimed that his wife was an IPS officer and he would make her life hell if she revealed the matter to anyone. A case was registered against the accused at Sushant Lok police station under sections 328 (causing hurt by means of poison with intent to commit an offence), 376 (2) (commits rape taking advantage of his official position), 377 (unnatural offences) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidati­on) of the Indian Penal Code.

In her complaint, the woman told police, “I joined the company in May last year and I had to report to my boss, who, within a week, asked me to have lunch with him. During lunch, he used vulgar language and touched me inappropri­ately. I resisted his advances. The next day he started harassing me at work and held me back in office till late hours. On June 10, 2017, he told me there is an official dinner in a hotel in Mehrauli, where he has called a few clients to discuss business. He directed me to be present there. When I reached the hotel, I realised that there was no one apart from him. He invited me for dinner and later insisted on dropping me home in his car. As I sat on the front seat beside him, he sprayed something on my face and I became unconsciou­s. On regaining my senses, I found myself in a room and realised I’d been raped. He had also engaged in unnatural sex with me.”

She said that when she confronted him, he threatened her saying he had shot a video of the act and began blackmaili­ng her and took her to Amritsar, Kullu, Manali and Jaipur. She said that during each of these visits, he forced himself on her and engaged in unnatural sex.

However, she said that the last straw was the incident that took place on February 9, 2018, when the accused not only raped her but also abused her badly. “Please take action against the accused,” she told the police.

In another incident, a woman living in a paying guest accommodat­ion in Sector 18 has accused the owner and another woman of threatenin­g and molesting her. A case was registered on Sunday, police said, adding that the facts are being verified and action would be taken.
