Jaipur, Mar 11: A 19-year-old girl attending coaching classes for medical entrance exams in Kota was gang-raped in front of her male friend by two former jawans of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary.

The girl had gone on a bike ride with her friend when the two accused, posing as policemen, stopped them on Friday evening and took them to an isolated place in Kota's Dadabari area. They raped the girl under a tree and severely beat up the friend when he protested. While one of the accused was arrested on Saturday, the other is still on the run.

The girl and her friend both live in rented accommodations in Kota. The friend also takes medical coaching classes in Kota's Talbandi area.

The two accused, identified as Mohan Singh and Jai Kumar, are in their mid-thirties and residents of Talbandi and Shivpura areas in Kota respectively. They were expelled nearly 10 years ago from RAC following involvement in robbery cases.

"The girl and the boy were roaming around on a bike on Rawatbhata Road at around 8.30pm on Friday. Mohan and Jai Kumar who were on a white bike similar to the kind used by the police overtook the couple and stopped them," said Additional SP, Kota, Laxman Guar.

The two men first asked the boy and the girl what they were doing in that isolated area after dark. "When the boy said that they were just hanging around, one of the two men asked for the bike's registration papers. When the boy said he did not have them with him, the duo said that their bike would be seized and they would have to come to the nearby police outpost," said the officer.

The officer said Jai Kumar forced the girl and the boy to sit on his bike, while Mohan drove the boy's bike. "Jai Kumar took the girl and the boy to an isolated place. Mohan also reached there on the boy's bike. They then started misbehaving with the girl and then raped her," said the officer.

The boy pleaded with them and even offered them Rs 3,000 which he had on him, the police officer said adding that the boy promised to get more money if they left the girl alone.

"However, the two men ignored his pleas and took turns at raping the girl. In the dense forest area nobody heard the girl's cries for help," said the officer.

They left the girl and the boy there and fled after the rape. "The girl went to the Dadabari police station with her friend and lodged an FIR. One of the policemen at the police station managed to identify one of the culprits as Jai Kumar. The white-coloured motorcycle used by Jai Kumar also matched the description given by the victim," said the officer.

A police team was sent to Kumar's house. "However, he escaped after jumping over the boundary wall at the rear of his house. We arrested Mohan Singh on Saturday. A massive search has been launched for Jai Kumar," said the officer.

Surat, Jul 16: Woman police constable Sunita Yadav, who had a confrontation with a minister's son over lockdown violation which led to his arrest here in Gujarat, claimed she has resigned from service. However, a senior police official has denied it.

Prakash Kanani, the son of Gujarat Minister of State for Health Kumar Kanani, and his two friends were arrested on Sunday for allegedly violating the lockdown and night curfew orders in Surat, a COVID-19 hotspot, a senior police official earlier said.

Yadav, who is being hailed on social media for taking action against the minister's son, told news channels on Wednesday that she had put in her papers.

"I have resigned because I did not receive support from my superior officers. I was only doing my duty as a constable. It's the fault of our system that these people (like the minister's son) think they are VVIPs (very very important persons)," she said.

However, a senior police official here denied that she has resigned.

"She has not given her resignation. The inquiry is still on and technically she cannot resign at this juncture," Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt said.

Yadav's action had led to the registration of an FIR and arrest of Prakash Kanani and two of his friends for alleged violation of lockdown and curfew norms in Surat city.

The arrests came after a video of a heated exchange between them and Yadav, who pulled up the trio for violation of curfew, surfaced on social media. The trio was later released on bail.

Since the incident, Yadav is being hailed on social media.

While some social media users called her "Lady Singham" (referring to the tough cop in the Hindi film "Singham"), some suggested she contest the 2022 state Assembly polls against Kumar Kanani, who represents Varachha constituency in Surat district.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
