A gang-rape survivor in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr defied attempts by police to stop her and personally met the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, urging strict action against her rapists.
A video of the dramatic encounter went viral on social media, drawing widespread attention.
According to reports, the survivor was initially prevented from meeting the DIG by both male and female officers at the police station. Undeterred, she managed to slip past them and directly approached the senior officer to demand justice.
After she intercepted the vehicle of the senior cop, the officer stepped out of the car and gave her an opportunity to narrate her ordeal.
“Sir, six people brutally raped me sometime back,” the woman said. “Have they been put into jai?” the DIG asked. “Four of them have been jailed, two are absconding”, she replied.
“I approached the police, but my pleas fell on deaf ears and no concrete action has been taken,” a video showed the woman as saying to the senior police official. “Call the CO (circle officer) here”, the DIG said.
The senior cop then instructed concerned officials to help her out and do what is required in the case. “They often chase my brother to thrash him too,” the survivor further claimed.
DIG assured that all others accused would be arrested soon and sent to jail, ensuring the woman of justice.
The woman was allegedly gang-raped by six men a few days ago. Police have arrested four of the accused and remanded them to jail, while two remain at large. During her meeting with the DIG, the victim appealed for the immediate arrest of the remaining suspects.
The DIG assured her that efforts were underway to apprehend all absconding accused and that they would be brought to justice soon. Authorities have reportedly intensified the search for the fugitives.
