A 23-year-old woman from Fatehabad in Haryana has alleged that she was lured to a farmhouse in Amroha district and gang-raped by two Uttar Pradesh Police officers and a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, while a second CRPF member attempted to sexually assault her, police said on Wednesday.
Police rescue, FIR and arrests
Superintendent of Police Lakhan Singh Yadav said teams from Hasanpur and Rajabpur police stations reached the farmhouse on the Atrasi-Hasanpur road after the woman managed to contact the police early on Wednesday. She was taken to safety and an FIR was registered on her complaint under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) that include abduction or enticement and gangrape, the SP said.
All four accused — identified in police statements as two UP police officers and two CRPF personnel — have been detained and are being interrogated, the SP added. Legal action will be taken based on roles that emerge during the investigation, he said.
Alleged sequence of events
According to the police account, the woman was contacted on September 20 by a female acquaintance who asked her to meet a CRPF inspector named Mohit for a proposed visit to religious places in Amroha. She met Mohit in Sonipat on September 21, and the three travelled to Meerut, where CRPF Head Constable Lalaram Yadav joined them.
On the evening of September 22, the two CRPF personnel and Mohit drove the woman to Hasanpur. On the way they picked up a UP sub-inspector, Sanjay Tomar, police said. The group then went to a farmhouse on the Atrasi-Hasanpur road and hired two rooms, the complaint states. A fourth man, identified as Pramod, allegedly arranged food and liquor at the location.
The woman alleged that Mohit, Lalaram and Tomar raped her sequentially, while Pramod later entered the room and tried to force himself on her. She is reported to have pushed him away, locked the door and, after searching online for police helpline numbers, contacted law-enforcement at around 6 am on Wednesday.
"Based on the victim's complaint, an FIR has been registered against the four accused under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for abduction or enticement and gangrape. All four have been arrested," the SP said, according to police statements.
Immediate action and next steps
