Indian Gang-Rape Victim Raped Again; By Her Investigating Officers According to Indian news media, a gang-rape victim of Indian Uttar Pradesh, has alleged that she was raped by the Investigating Officer of her case and then later, by the Inspector of the police station where she went to lodge her complain. On December 14, Senior Sub- Inspector Maan Singh -who was the IO of her rape case- was arrested from a hotel room trying to rape the helpless gang-rape victim. According to the woman, she was first gang-raped in her hometown of Ambedkar Nagar about a month ago, after which she and her family approached the Akbar-Pur police station to lodge an FIR against the alleged rapists. However, the police failed to initiate any kind of action against the alleged rapists after which the victim approached SSI Maan Singh for help. Maan Singh promised the victim that he would help her; he suggested that she should accompany him to Faizabad where he will arrange a meeting with the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Faizabad Range who will ensure the she gets justice. Unaware of Maan Singh’s real motives, the victim said yes and left for Faizabad with him. After reaching Faizabad, Maan Singh took the victim to a hotel and started to rape her. The arrest came when the victim somehow managed to send a message to one of her neighbors back in her hometown, who then contacted the Faizabad SSP and told him about the situation and the name of the hotel where Maan Singh had took her. When Faizabad police raided the hotel room, they found Maan Singh in the room with his pants down to his knees, trying to rape the victim. He was immediately arrested. After Maan Singh’s arrest the victim came out of her shell and revealed that she was also raped by Inspector AK Upadhyay who is in-charge of the Akbarpoor police station and also Maan Singh’s immediate boss. She said that before Faizabad police raided the hotel room for her rescue, she had already been raped by SSI Maan Singh and his boss, Inspector Upadhyay, as well. After this painful ordeal, the woman has now claimed that she is being threatened for her life, to stay quiet about the whole incident, because it involves the police department. She said that she was told not to testify in the court against Senior Sub- Inspector Maan Singh and his immediate boss Inspector Uppadhya. The SSP Faizabad police says that he will verify the charges and bring the culprits to the court of justice. While the victim has also written a letter to the chief minister appealing him for justice. #owais
