Mansa, September 11
The police have said the Budhlada gang rape victim was not a nurse, as had been claimed by her. She reportedly said she had treated the victim of the infamous gang rape in the national capital, Damini, at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
The woman has been handed over to her relatives in Delhi.
The police also said she had mentioned her name wrong in the FIR, and that her claim of being an orphan too had been found false.
Budhlada Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajveer Singh, who handed over the victim to her relatives, said on phone: “
We enquired at Safdarjung Hospital and found she was not employed there. She also mentioned her name wrong in the FIR.”
The police official claimed the woman’s husband, with whom she had a son, had left her four years ago. They said her parents, living at Kidwai Nagar in Delhi, too had reportedly disowned her six months ago.
“The family has its roots in Uttarakhand. We handed her over to her relatives in the presence of the Delhi Police,” he said.
The woman had lodged a complaint of gang rape at Budhlada police station against four men, including a 60-year-old, on September 9. Two of the accused have been arrested.
