In a shocking incident reported from Banda, an eve-teasing accused sent to jail a month back, allegedly raped the victim at gunpoint on Wednesday evening and when the girl went to the police station to lodge a report, she was asked to bring two witnesses to the crime.

The Bijnor police made all attempts to hush up the incident when only two days back, DGP OP Singh had warned of stern action against policemen not responding immediately to crime against members of the fairer sex.

Reports said that 14-year-old Sandhya (name changed), of Mataudh locality of Banda, had lodged a report against Parshu, accusing him of teasing and threatening her of dire consequences.

The local police registered a case under POCSO Act against the accused and send him to jail. However, as the police did not pursue the case properly in the court, the accused managed a get bail and came out of jail within a few days of his arrest.

Sandhya on Wednesday night again contacted the station house officer of Mataudh police station, Shail Kumar, and told him that she was alone in the house as her mother had gone to purchase foodgrains when Parshu barged into her house and raped her at gunpoint for lodging the eve-teasing report against him.

Surprisingly, SHO Shail Kumar did not send the girl for medically examination. He also did not register a case. The SHO reportedly asked the girl to bring two witnesses to the rape to get the case registered.

When contacted on Thursday afternoon, circle officer of Attara, Rajeev Singh, confirmed that the girl had submitted an application and they were getting the matter investigated.

He said that stern action would be taken in the case if the charges made by the girl were found to be true.
