Horror as rape victim told ‘have sex with policeman if she wants attackers arrested’
A WOMAN who was allegedly raped at gunpoint was left fearing for her life after police reportedly refused to investigate unless she had sex with the officer.
Woman says police ignored her requests to have the two men arrested
The 37-year-old woman went to police with the names of her alleged attackers after reporting she was raped in February.
But the woman, from northern Uttar Pradesh province in India, says police ignored her requests to have the two men arrested.
Instead she says the officer quizzed her over the lurid details of the alleged attack and suggested she “fulfil my desires”.
The woman made secret recordings of the policeman
The woman made secret recordings of the policeman according to the Times of India, which says it has a copy of the audio.
Her ordeal started in February when she said she was gang-raped at gunpoint while home alone.
She says her alleged attackers offered a lift and returned later to carry out the attack.
The woman told Times of India: "My ordeal began soon afterwards. Whenever I approached [the police officer] seeking arrest of the accused, he would say he first wanted to have sex with me. He even called up on my mobile phone and invited me to visit him in his room alone. When I turned him down, he filed a closure report in the case a fortnight ago.
“He would ask about the rape sequence time and again, posing objectionable questions on the details. Then he told me, 'First you fulfill my desire, I will then arrest the accused’.”
Police are investigating the incident.
