NEW DELHI: In an incident that led to public outrage and outpouring of sympathy from rights groups and the National Commission for Women, a 35-year-old alleged rape victim was thrashed by the family members and neighbours of the accused at east Delhi’s Mandawali on Thursday night.
Seema (name changed), a mother of two, who supplies domestic helps, had on April 5 alleged that she was raped by her landlord, Ramkumar, at the point of a knife when his wife was away. He was arrested on the basis of her complaint and sent to judicial custody, said police sources. Seema continued to stay in the same house. Soon after the arrest, Seema said, she started getting threats from Ramkumar’s family.
On Thursday evening, his wife, Sia Devi, allegedly barged into Seema’s room along with a some others and started abusing her for trying to malign Ramkumar. Sia also claimed that Seema has demanded Rs 2 lakh and a house for withdrawing the case. Shaken by the threats, Seema said, she went to the police station. "On my return, around 10pm, I found Sia had locked me out. When I protested, she abused me again."
