Rs 35,000 to hush up child’s murder, rape?
NEW DELHI: Was the murder and gangrape of a 10-year-old girl ‘covered up’ by Delhi Police for a mere Rs 35,000? In yet another instance of police corruption, a trial court recently received the unusual confession of a man who alleged police demanded he pay to settle a two-year-old kidnapping, rape and murder case against him.
If the confession of Riyazat Ali who was arrested on June 11 is to be believed, the police took Rs 35,000 from him, promising they would close the case. In a letter to metropolitan magistrate Jitender Mishra, Ali also alleged the police took two mobiles from him and the other two accused and demanded still more money to hush up the matter.
Startled by the revelation, Mishra ordered initiation of FIR against seven officials of the Delhi police special staff. On Friday, when Ali was produced before the court, he moved an application against the seven officials.
