Woman alleges rape by 19- year- old girl

In a first such case after the Supreme Court’s landmark verdict of decriminalising homosexuality, a 25- year- old woman has alleged that a 19- year- old girl sexually assaulted her using a sex toy and also subjected her to continuous cruelty.

The victim, even after repeated attempts, failed to lodge a police complaint against the accused woman.

According to information, the victim, who hails from eastern India, had come to Delhi for work. She has alleged that the 19- year- old accused raped her and subjected her to repeated sexual and physical assaults. The nightmare didn’t end there for her. She went to Seemapuri police station in Delhi, but cops refused to book the accused.

“I had requested the police at the Seemapuri police station to charge her. But they refused to lodge the complaint. They even asked me not to mention it to the magistrate, but I did,” the complainant alleged.

On September 26, a magistrate at the Karkardooma district court recorded the victim’s statement under Section 164 of the CrPC ( Code of Criminal Procedure).

The incident started to unfold in March when she quit her job to invest in her own business. Later, she got into an agreement wherein she was required to get other partners to invest in an online clothing merchandise. When she began searching for partners, she met the other accused, Rohit, and the girl, who told her that they were ready to invest.

DCP ( Shahdara) Meghna Yadav said that based on the original complaint of the victim, an FIR was registered under Section 376D of the IPC. Following this, one of the accused has been arrested.
