New Delhi, June 25: The Delhi Police on Thursday claimed that the Inderpuri rape case involving the SHO and four constables of the police station was fabricated by the alleged victim.
Police sources said that the woman fabricated the case of gang rape to protect her husband, who was wanted because of his alleged involvement in satta dealing.
In some of the clinching evidences establishing the police claim, the SHO was not present at the spot at the time of the reported crime, sources said.
Moreover, the woman failed to identify the policemen whom she had accused of the rape. She couldn’t even identify the room where she was allegedly raped.
A Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) team that visited the police station to gather evidence couldn’t locate the room. They ended up collecting samples from several rooms in the police station. Nothing could be found in the CCTV footage to back the victim’s claim.
While lab results were still awaited, the initial reports pointed towards a fake rape case.
Incidentally, following the locals’ protest over the alleged rape by policemen, the accused SHO and the four constables were summarily transferred to Civil Lines.
