CHANDIGARH: Mewat police booked five persons, including a retired Senior Medical Officer (SMO) of a Primary Health Centre
(PHC), for having gangraped a 19-year-old girl belonging to the
minority community for 14 days, at the SMO's residence on the PHC
premises, and other places.
Cops registered a case of gangrape at Punhana police
station of Mewat district. Besides the accused SMO, Dr Manish Bhalla,
who retired from office on April 30, others named in the case are Dr
Ashish Bengali, a registered medical practitioner; Azad Singh and Hasam,
sarpanch and a resident of Gheeda village; and Hafizan, a woman
belonging to Singar village.
According to police, Dr Manish
Bhalla and others were accused of sexually exploiting the victim between
April 28 to May 12. Cops are awaiting reports of medical tests done on
the girl. Mewat SP Pankaj Nain said, "No external injuries were
inflicted on the girl. Investigation is on and we are analyzing the
statement recorded by the victim."
Punhana SHO Anil Kumar,
while attributing to the details in the FIR, said Hafizan, in her early
40s, introduced the victim to Dr Manish, who, along with Ashish Bengali
and Hasan, abused her for the initial four days at the official
residence of the doctor.
Then, Azad Singh and others took the
girl to rooms constructed on the stone crusher owned by Bhani Ram Mangla
and committed the crime, before dumping the girl near Singar village.
A police officer said, "The victim's family approached us on Thursday.
We are trying to ascertain why the family did not complain right after
the girl was abandoned by the accused, and the reason why no 'missing'
report was lodged."
