Surrogate woman wants to marry her rapist

Ahmedabad, July 16: There is another twist to the surrogate woman's rape case. The rape-victim had called up city crime branch officials to say that she wants to marry her rapist, Rajkumar Jadav, and withdraw her earlier complaint.


Crime branch officials have asked the woman to submit a written application in this regard; despite repeated summons issued by crime branch officials, the complainant has not turned up before the police to record her statement. She was in the civil hospital for medical inspection for two days before being released recently.


On last Wednesday, a 30-year-old pregnant surrogate woman had approached the Mahila police station and registered a complaint against Rajkumar, a Nadiad resident who is the son of a constable. According to the woman, a resident of Ahmedabad, Rajkumar abducted her and raped her at his home in Nadiad. The woman also claimed that she had earlier been hired to bear him a child. Police investigation revealed that Rajkumar is not married while the complainant is a divorcee.


Joint commissioner of police, crime branch, AK Sharma said, "Even if she withdraws her complaint, several aspects have to be investigated. For instance we have to probe if her first baby was the result of surrogacy, how the baby reached a childless couple in Mumbai and whether the child was sold for money."


Crime branch officials have also sought the baby's birth registration details from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). "According to the victim, her first surrogate baby was born in a city hospital in 2011. There should be a birth record for this. We want to check these entries in the municipal records to ascertain whether it was a surrogate baby and if not who was the father in official documents," said a crime branch official.


According to the rape-victim she is now pregnant with a second surrogate baby for a childless couple. The doctor who acted as the intermediary between her and the couple, Dr Bharat Atit, has confirmed before the crime branch that the second pregnancy is for a surrogate baby. Crime branch officials have now sought for all records concerning this surrogacy. "We have also asked the doctor to submit the contract that validates this surrogacy. We are also probing whether Dr Atit had any role to play in the woman's first surrogate baby," said crime branch officials.


Assistant police commissioner, crime branch, Mayur Chavda, said, "We need to question the rape victim and Rajkumar to know who they sold the first baby to. The victim woman has claimed that Rajkumar is now with her. We have asked her to report to the crime branch office with Rajkumar. We want to know where the first baby is now."

A man posed as Superintendent of Police (SP), called up a subordinate police official and asked him to get his mobile phone repaired or face the consequences. But, his bluff was later called and the man landed in lockup.

Azamgarh SP Triveni Singh said the 23-year-old youth, Shubham Upadhyay, is the son of a farmer. He was preparing for competitive exams when his phone developed a snag on Saturday. He tried to reach out to local mechanics, but they were unavailable to fix it due to the lockdown.

Upadhyay used a free caller identification app to call up the in-charge of the Kotwali police station, K. K. Gupta, and threatened to shunt him out, if he failed to swiftly get the work done. Gupta grew suspicious and eventually caught the youth.

n his statement to the police, Shubham Upadhyay said, "On Sunday noon, I tried to breach the district borders to reach Lucknow to repair my phone, but since there was heavy police presence and barricading, I returned home. Later, I installed a free caller identification app in my handset and mentioned the name as SP Azamgarh and even uploaded a photo of the cop to appear genuine."

He first called SHO, Kotwali to get the phone repaired and was told the handset would be picked up from the SP office in an hour. Then, he called a businessman to bring his SUV and hand over his mobile to the SHO.

But when Upadhyay called the police again to suggest a separate meeting point, he raised suspicion. When the SHO tried to confirm the venue, Upadhyay got hesitant and said he would send a peon.

"I suddenly realised something was fishy and rang up the public relation officer of SP Azamgarh, who denied any such order from the SP. When the caller's number was scanned, it displayed the name of SP Azamgarh," said SHO Gupta.

A trap was laid and when the SHO reached the venue, he found one Praveen Shukla sitting in the vehicle. Police got the address of the accused from Shukla and reached Upadhyay's home in Bilariya locality and arrested him.

Upadhyay has been booked under IT Act and for threatening a public servant.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
