A relative of the 16-year-old girl and her mother who was allegedly raped by Uttar Pradesh minister Gayatri Prajapati and his aides has alleged that Uttar Pradesh Police officer, who had come to AIIMS to record the victim’s statement, threatened to kill them in a fake encounter on Friday. In a complaint filed at Hauz Khas police station, Anshu Gaur has alleged that when he had gone to visit his sister, a DSP-rank officer of the UP Police on Thursday barged into a ward at AIIMS, threatened them and also snatched their mobile phones.
The complainant had requested for protection from the UP Police and to take necessary action against the alleged police personnel. Enquiry was made into this complaint and it was found that the investigating officer of UP Police had sought due permission from AIIMS authorities to examine the minor prosecutrix. However, since the mother had certain reservations, she had called over Mahmood Pracha, advocate, who is representing the minor prosecutrix before the apex court.
Soon after that, Pracha had arrived at AIIMS and the remaining statement was carried out in his presence. The allegations leveled in the complaint of Anshu Gaur have prima facie been found not substantiated as of now.
The statement was videographed as per the rules under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The UP Police have filed an FIR against Prajapati and his accomplices on an order from the Supreme Court. The statement of the victim was recorded before a chief metropolitan magistrate in Lucknow last week
With reports emerging that rape accused Samajwadi Party (SP) leader may try to leave the country, airports along with all exit points across Uttar Pradesh have been put on high alert to thwarts his escape bids.
After the state police was unable to find him in the extensive search launched earlier, the local intelligence unit approached the Central intelligence body and warned them that the minister might make attempts to flee the country, sources said. Immediately all the airports in the state and exit points were put on alert and were informed about notifying Prajapati’s presence to the authorities.
Earlier, BJP president Amit Shah slammed the Akhilesh-led government in the state for not doing enough to arrest Prajapati. ‘Akhilesh government should arrest Prajapati before March 11. If this doesn’t happen, once the BJP government is formed we will find him by from just about anywhere,’ Shah told the media in a press briefing.
Prajapati earlier on February 20 moved the Supreme Court against its order of registering an FIR against him in connection with a gang rape and sexual harassment case. Prajapati filed a plea in the apex court seeking protection from arrest and recall of the top court's earlier order.The apex court had earlier directed the Uttar Pradesh Police to file a status report in the case within a period of eight weeks.
However, Prajapati claimed that it is a conspiracy of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against him in order to distract people's attention from the assembly polls. "It is a conspiracy against me. I don't even know who the lady is. Since the government has ordered such probe, I would accept it gladly," Prajapati told ANI.
