Bhadohi , A Central Industrial Security Force jawan was allegedly assaulted, stripped and filmed by four people here, and was subsequently arrested in a molestation case after being kept at a police station for nearly 24 hours, according to a court petition.
Some villagers who witnessed the incident intervened, rescued him from the accused, helped him get dressed and sent him to the police station. Additional Superintendent of Police Shubham Agrawal said the incident allegedly took place on August 12 in Sardar Bahuta village under the Suriyawan police station area. CISF Constable Ajay Yadav , in a petition filed before the Civil Judge court on August 19, alleged that he was returning home from the market on his motorcycle when Dhirendra Yadav , Virendra Yadav , Aman Yadav and Sarita Yadav , all residents of the same village, intercepted him and vandalised his motorcycle. Yadav reached the police station around 4 pm on August 12 to lodge a complaint, but he was made to sit there, according to the petition. He alleged that after he contacted senior police officials over the phone later in the evening to report the incident, Sarita Yadav was called to the police station around 11 pm and a molestation case was registered against him.
Because a family member of Sarita Yadav, identified as Rajesh Yadav, works as a ‘Dial 112’ driver and also drives the vehicle of the local police station in-charge, Agrawal said, the petitioner also alleged that police did not act on his complaint. The court has now ordered the registration of an FIR against the four accused, following which police registered a case against them under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act, officials said on Tuesday.
