In a shocking incident, a woman was allegedly raped by a money lender as her husband failed to return a loan. A rape case has been lodged by Latika (name changed), a resident of Danilimda, against three at Danilimda police station on Sunday.

According to the case details, Latika, a housewife, was repeatedly raped by one Vishal Gupta. In her complaint, she also named a couple—Shabha Khan and Bilal, residents of Fatewadi in Juhapura, who helped Vishal in the act.

Investigation revealed that Latika’s husband, who owns an omelette stall in Naroda, had borrowed Rs1 lakh on 10% interest from Gupta. However, things turned awry after the victim’s family failed to return the full amount. In order to recover the money, Gupta took away the furniture at Latika’s house and asked her to meet him near Narol circle on December 24.

He kidnapped her and forced her to stay with him till her husband returned the entire amount. He also threatened the victim that he would kill her husband if he did not get the money back. Subsequently, Gupta took her to Fatewadi, where she was put up at the couple’s residence. It was here that the victim was raped. It is learned that the couple forced Latika to consume alcohol with them and then sneak out of the room. Gupta would then rape her.

The torture continued for five to six days during which the victim was raped repeatedly. She was also taken to Udaipur where the humiliation continued. They even snatched her gold ring and anklet. On January 19, Latika’s husband, managed to trace her and lodged a complaint of kidnapping and rape against the accused.

“We have registered kidnapping and rape complaint against Gupta. We have also registered a complaint against the couple for helping the accused. During the investigation, it was revealed that the accused raped her after getting drunk. Gupta is absconding but we have arrested the couple,” said MM Makwana, PI, Danilimda.
