GUWAHATI: A pregnant woman
and her two sisters have been allegedly stripped and tortured inside a police station in Assam's Darrang district
by police while seeking information about their brother, who had eloped with a girl.
The pregnant woman has told before media that she was carrying for two months and 22 days but the pregnancy had to be terminated after she sustained injuries at the police station.
One of the sisters Minuwara Begum had filed a complaint with Darrang district superintendent of police on September 10 alleging that she along with her sisters Sanuwara and Rumela were picked up from their homes by officer-in-charge of Burha police outpost on the night of September 8 and tortured them inside the police station by two policemen and one woman constable the whole night.
The incident has come to light on Tuesday after the victims approached the media as there was no action from the police. One of the sisters, who was pregnant, said she was admitted in a hospital for three days where doctors told the woman that her pregnancy had to be terminated.
Assam DGP Kuladhar Saikia said, "I have asked Darrang district superintendent of police to probe into the matter immediately."
