Rohtak: A police officer's office has become the scene of yet another suicide by a rape victim in Haryana. On Wednesday, a young couple tried to kill themselves outside the Rohtak DGP's office in protest against his inaction after 25-year-old Alka was raped.
Alka is now dead and her husband is critical.
Now their relatives have taken up the fight. They are refusing to cremate Alka until the guilty are punished..
Roop Singh, father-in-law of Alka, says: "This is not justice. We will not take the body until the police officers and the guilty are punished."
Last June, Alka had filed a case of gang rape against 5 men at a police station in Panipat. But evidence against them was not enough, so they are still free.
V Kamaraja, IG Rohtak range says that when the couple visited him, he asked the DSP to investigate the case. "Investigation was going on...now again we are looking into it."
Alka has left behind 2 children, who are 7 and 5. Her story is a reminder of another tragedy last year when another young woman in Haryana had died after consuming poison in front of a police station after the police failed to act against her rapists.
