New Delhi, Jan 2 : The satellite towns in Delhi have become crime-hub with reports of robbery, murder becoming a regular feature in Noida, Greater Noida and now a rape in Gurgaon.
In a bizarre incident a 21-year-old girl, Meena (name changed), belonging to the Bodo tribe from Assam, was on Tuesday night forced to consume liquor, shown vulgar videos, stripped and photographed, then raped allegedly by 35-year-old Manish.
Meena was staying with her friends in Sikandarpur and was looking for a job. Earlier she was employed with a family of foreigners and used to stay with them. After they left the city, Meena moved with her friends, and was in a look out for a job.
Apparently, Manish helped Meena find a job and was to escort her to her new employers last evening. Instead, he took her to his house.
Meena managed to call her friends in the morning and told them what had happened. Her friends in turn got in touch with North East Support Centre (NESC) and offshoot of All India Christian Council, who, as the name suggests, provide support to people from North East India working in the national capital region (NCR).
By then Manish dropped Meena in the vicinity of her house, and gave her Rs 100 to hire a transport back home.
"The girl was not in favour of reporting the matter to the police as she was scared and didn't want her family back home to know about it," says Madhu Chandra, spokesperson of NESC. Meena was given counselling and she finally agreed to take the police’s help.
The FIR has been registered by Sector 41 police station in Gurgaon after which Manish was arrested. A medical examination was carried out on the girl at a local hospital here and the report was awaited.
"We are happy with the way police have acted in this case," says Chandra.
