A 35-year-old woman has filed a complaint against her father-in-law and brother-in-law, accusing them of raping her repeatedly over the past three years, in Halvad taluka of Surendranagar district. Police Sub-Inspector A P Patel told PTI that both the men had been arrested and sent to judicial custody. The victim did not file a complaint earlier due to family pressure. She approached the police last evening, he said. The complainant has said that Rajesh Ramanuj (42), her brother-in-law, and Sevadas Ramanuj (75), the father-in-law, allegedly abused her sexually, justifying it on the pretext of her husband’s impotency. Since the couple lived in a joint family, her husband supported his father and brother, the woman alleged. She has been sent to a women’s shelter home while further investigations are on. PTI
