Amroha , Two Uttar Pradesh Police personnel and two CRPF personnel have been arrested for the alleged gangrape of a woman from Haryana at a farmhouse in Amroha district, an official said on Wednesday.
The alleged incident took place in the Hasanpur area of Amroha. A sub-inspector and a head constable posted at the Hasanpur police station and a sub-inspector and a head constable of the Central Reserve Police Force have been arrested in connection with the incident. From there, they travelled to Meerut, where Mohit was joined by his colleague, CRPF Head Constable Lalaram Yadav, a resident of Rajasthan’s Alwar. “Based on the victim’s complaint, an FIR has been registered against the four accused under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for abduction or enticement and gangrape.
The woman, aged about 24 years and a resident of Haryana’s Fatehabad, has alleged that she was contacted on September 20 by a female acquaintance, who asked her to meet CRPF Inspector Mohit, a resident of Saurang village in Muzaffarnagar district, to visit religious places in Amroha, according to Superintendent of Police Lakhan Singh Yadav. The rape survivor allegedly met Mohit at Haryana’s Sonipat on September 21. The rape survivor contacted police at around 6 am on Wednesday.
All four have been arrested and remanded in judicial custody,” the SP said. Reacting to the incident, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said in a social-media post that when governance is based on crime, the police force also becomes corrupt. Referring to the alleged gangrape of the woman in Amroha, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the incident is a “stain” on the police force that no amount of patronage can erase.
