MEERUT : A 20-year-old girl has accused three constables posted at Baghpat jail of allegedly sedating, confining and raping her for three days on the pretext of providing her a constable job in the jail.

The incident took place on January 26. The scared girl kept mum for over a month and on Friday decided to lodge a complaint, demanding immediate arrest of the three constables.

The woman met senior superintendent of police (SSP) Nitin Tiwari on Friday and gave her complaint to him, demanding stern action against the three constables.

She also forwarded her complaint to the chief minister, Yogi Adityanath and the director general of police (DGP), OP Singh.

“On day, he suggested her parents to spend some money if they wanted their daughter to become a constable. He demanded Rs 10 lakh and her parents provided him Rs 8 lakh. He also collected her educational certificates in January. Few days later, he returned with the news that state jail minister has telephoned the DIG jail, regarding her appointment and now she has to appear before the officer,” Singh said, quoting her complaint.
