Minor ‘raped’, body found in police station








==========================

A minor girl was allegedly raped and her body found hanging from the branch of a fallen tree within the premises of the Nighasan police station on Friday. Ten policemen and the Station Officer, Ravi Srivastava, have been suspended.

The 14-year-old victim’s father, Intezam Ali, accused the SO and a constable of raping and killing his daughter. The victim’s mother, Tarannum, who was the first to find the body, said the girl’s knees were touching the ground and her scarf was wrapped around her neck, with its ends tied to the branch. She claimed there was blood on the body.


Kheri SP D K Rai confirmed that the policemen tried to hush up the incident by not initiating any legal proceedings after the body was recovered. The body was taken in police custody only after the SP was informed, said Rai.

The office of the SDM is also located within the premises of the police station, but he remained unaware about the incident till the SP asked him to visit the spot at night.

“The erring cops have been suspended and the probe has been handed over to the Additional SP. A post-mortem examination is being conducted by a panel of three doctors to ascertain the cause of the girl’s death and to confirm if she was raped,” said Special DGP (Law & Order) Brij Lal.

Tarannum said she had sent her daughter to look for a missing buffalo in the morning. When the girl, did not return even after 2 pm, Tarannum started searching for her. She finally found the body in the police station compound, just 200 yards from her house.

Tarannum said the police tried to dismiss the death as a suicide case.
