Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, July 19: BJP Mahila Morcha Jammu-Kashmir president Sanjita Dogra along with general secretary Urvashi Gupta submitted a memorandum to Inspector General of Police Jammu regarding Dansal rape case of minor Dalit girl.
The memorandum stated that a minor Dalit girl was brutally raped in Dansal (Jhajjer Kotli) Jammu by four men. A complaint has been registered against the accused with Police Station (PS) Jhajjar Kotli.
The memorandum said that the police has arrested only one accused who happens to be a resident of Dansal, serving as a constable in IRP but three other accused are still at large.
BJP Mahila Morcha is deeply anguished by the attitude of the concerned officials in investigating the matter, it added.
The memorandum demanded that Special Investigation Team (SIT) should be constituted to investigate the matter as one of the accused is serving the Police Department and this could hamper the investigation and evidences can be tampered through his influence.
It also demanded arrest of other three accused as soon as possible and handing over of the victim to her family.
It also demanded that officer not below SI rank and preferably lady officer should investigate the case, case recording should be verbatim, recording should not be insisted in Police Station to ensure the child safety and child should be made comfortable before proceeding to record the statement.
Also present were Mahila Morcha office secretary, Reema Padha.
