Bhubaneswar: The Crime Branch of Odisha Police in its action-taken report submitted to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on December 14, had dismissed the allegations of gang rape brought by the Kunduli girl who committed suicide on Monday.
In the report submitted on December 14, the Crime Branch said in a bid to hide her affair with a minor boy of Kunduli, the girl had levelled false allegations that four personnel of CoBRA unit of CRPF had sexually assaulted her.
A day after the minor girl levelled gang rape charges, the police took her to the Kunduli Community Health Centre (CHC) for medical examination. Later she underwent another medical examination at the Saheed Laxman Nayak Medical College and Hospital. Again a team of experts of FMT department of MKCG Medical College carried out an examination of the complainant, the Crime Branch report mentioned.
All the medical examinations found no signs of rape, the Crime Branch report said.
Besides, the girl’s clothes were sent to the State Forensic Laboratory for examination which also found nothing unusual.
Apart from this, the police also traced the movements of the security personnel including CoBRA forces and found no truth in the charges, the report stated.
Camps of the security forces are located more than 30 km away from the spot. Besides, at least a team of more than 40 security personnel always move in the area because of Maoist activity, the report elaborated.
When the minor girl had met the minor boy for the last time, she demanded that he should marry her. When the minor boy refused the proposal, the girl tore her school uniform and threatened to level rape charges against the boy. After the boy agreed to marry; the girl, in a bid to hide the truth behind her torn clothes, levelled charges against the security personnel instead, the report highlighted.
The minor girl hatched a rape theory, the Crime Branch report mentioned.
The details were revealed by the minor boy in a video-recorded statement as well as the Polygraph test undertaken on October 16, the Crime Branch cited.
The probe by the Human Rights Protection Cell (HRPC) ADG also refuted the gang rape theory.
On the other hand, a petition was filed by human rights activist and Supreme Court lawyer Radhakanta Tripathy before the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today demanding a probe either by the CBI or a team of NHRC into the alleged gang rape of Kunduli girl who committed suicide.
Citing ‘sensitivity’ of the case, Tripathy in the petition has sought probe into three directions.
The petitioner has questioned why the alleged gang rape survivor had to undergo medical tests at four hospitals if the charges were false; why the State government provided Rs 50,000 compensation to the girl’s family and why the girl committed suicide despite counselling.
