A 45-year-old woman was allegedly raped by an RTI activist at multiple locations. The accused reportedly took undo advantage of the woman's emotions and raped her multiple times.
A case in this regard has been registered at the women police station (west), the police said on Thursday. The police added that efforts are on to nab the absconding accused.
According to the police, the woman, a resident of Gurugram, alleged in her police complaint that she came in contact with the man identified as Om Prakash Kataria, also a resident of Gurugram, in October 2015 in connection with another case which the woman had filed against former deputy mayor of Gurugram. The woman stated in her complaint that at that time Kataria had assured her of full support during her litigation.
Later conversations though whatsapp chat and phone calls started between them and Kataria used to talk about the woman's past and started to emotionally support her.
“I used to stay at my sister's home at Vasant Kunj, Delhi. On March 20, 2020 the man visited my home at Bahadurgarh and there he molested me and when I objected to the man, he offered me some ‘Pakoda’ laced with intoxicating substances and after having this I felt unconscious. When I came back to my senses I felt that I had been raped and Kataria had left my house,” the victim alleged in the FIR.
Thereafter, the victim claimed in her complaint that on July 30, 2020 she came to know that Kataria had shot an objectionable video of the March 20 incident and started to emotionally blackmail her.
“On April 3 Kataria had called me via whatsapp and again forcefully shot an objectionable video of me and pressured me to indulge in sexual talk,” the woman alleged in her complaint.
The woman also alleged that the man on pretext of marriage and several other excuses had sexually exploited her at Gurugram, Delhi, Bahadurgarh and Uttar Pradesh.
“Kataria even sexually assaulted me in his car along the road side at Golf Course Road, near Basai flyover, Gurugram-Faridabad road and in Delhi and when I resist his wrong doing and asked him to delete these videos, he used to threaten me and said he would make my objectionable videos and photos viral on social media platforms,” the woman told the police.
The woman alleged in her complaint that she was a single mother and because of this incident she was in acute depression and she also didn't want her children to be involved in the matter. So finally the woman mustered courage and registered a complaint against the man.
“In connection with the incident a case has been registered. The investigation team is on their task to collect evidence. The accused will be nabbed soon,” Subhash Boken, spokesperson of the Gurugram police said.
