Ferozepur, June 3, 2013: An incident of alleged involvement of a constable posted in CIA branch of Ferozepur in raping a nursing student girl has come to notice, on Saturday evening.
On the complaint of girl’s friend, a boy, police booked the constable but no arrest was made as the police were waiting for the victim to reach Ferozepur as she had left for Amritsar, her hometown, after the incidence took place on late Saturday evening.
In his complaint to the police, a nursing student of Francis Newton Mission Hospital stated that on Saturday evening, he along with his friend, also a nursing student was sitting in a park located in the Cantonment area, when police constable appeared on the scene and charged both of them for indecent behaviour at the public place.
When couple resisted his move, the cop reportedly thrashed the boy and asked him to arrange bribe if they did not want to get involve in a police case. Frightened boy left the spot to call some help and the cop took the girl to a house and reportedly raped her.
When the victim came back and narrated the incident to her boyfriend, he reported the matter to the hospital authorities, who unwilling to tarnish the image of the girl and the hospital, reportedly sent the victim back to her house in Amritsar.
The matter came to light on Sunday when some delegates of Christian community met the higher police officials in the presence of local SAD MLA and lodged a complaint against the accused cop in the Ferozepur Cantonment police station.
While commenting on the issue, Ferozepur SSP Varinderpal Singh said the moment the police received the complaint, swung into action and contacted the girl’s family in Amritsar.
As per the SSP on our persistent persuasion, the victim is being brought to Ferozepur where medical examination of the girl would be conducted. Once the medical examination confirms rape, action will be immediately initiated against the suspect.
