Faridabad : A 23-year-old woman from Haryana was lured with the promise of visiting religious places in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha and later raped at a farmhouse by three uniformed personnel. The woman, a resident of Fatehabad, was contacted on September 20 by a female acquaintance who asked her to meet CRPF Inspector Mohit, a resident of Muzaffarnagar, for a visit to religious places in Amroha, according to Superintendent of Police (SP) Lakhan Singh Yadav.
CRPF Head Constable Lalaram Yadav, a resident of Alwar in Rajasthan, joined them. On the evening of September 22, Mohit and Yadav took the woman by car to Hasanpur. On the way, they picked up Uttar Pradesh Police Sub-Inspector Sanjay Tomar. The three then took her to a farmhouse on the Atrasi-Hasanpur road and rented two rooms. The woman alleged that Mohit, Yadav and Tomar raped her one after another. She told police that Pramod later entered the room and attempted to rape her, but she pushed him out and locked the door.
“Based on the victim’s complaint, an FIR has been registered against the four accused under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for abduction or enticement and gangrape. All four have been arrested and remanded in judicial custody,” SP Lakhan Singh Yadav said. Departmental proceedings have been initiated against Sub-Inspector Sanjay Tomar following his suspension, the SP said. A report has also been sent to senior CRPF authorities recommending strict disciplinary action against the two CRPF personnel.
Police have questioned the property’s manager and further investigation is underway. Reacting to the case, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on X that when governance is based on crime, the police force also becomes corrupt.
