Chandigarh: There is anger in Chandigarh against five police constables who have been arrested for allegedly raping a school-girl for several weeks.
The policemen were beaten by protesters outside a government hospital where they were taken for a medical examination on Friday. The protesters, including BJP and Congress activists, demanded tough action against the accused policemen, who have now been dismissed from service.
The complainant, a 17-year-old girl, alleges that she was repeatedly raped by the five policemen in their Police Control Room (PCR) van, meant for quick response to SOS calls from people.
Four of the accused policemen were on Police Control Room duty and the fifth was attached to the Crime Branch. One of the constables allegedly traced the girl's phone number when she called to report a family dispute, and started calling her repeatedly.
The constable then allegedly accosted her on her way to school, and took her into the PCR van. The girl has alleged that she was raped at gunpoint and sexually assaulted for weeks by the constable and his four colleagues.
The girl's family reportedly found out when she tried to commit suicide, and went to senior police officers, after which an FIR or police complaint was filed.
The girl has recorded her statement before a magistrate.
