Whenever the woman insisted Narendra to marry her, he would buy time and tried to pacify the situation. During the course of their staying together, the woman laid her hands on a marriage invitation card, which showed that Narendra was marrying some other girl. Soon after realizing that she was being cheated, she approached Nandanvan police which registered a case against Narendra under section 376 (1), 417 of Indian Penal Code. Narendra has been abscoding since then.
Nandanvan police show apathy
The Vidarbha President of Oriental Human Rights Protection Forum Katrina Joseph who had helped the victim to get the police case registered, has alleged that she was being harassed by a cop at Nandanvan police station. She said the victim and the office-bearers of her forum were made to wait for hours. They had gone to register the complaint on Saturday at 2 pm and could only make it up by 3 am. The victim was taken for medical examination at 9:30 pm to GMCH. The policemen delayed the procedure and stretched it to the whole night. By the time the victim reached home after completing the process, it was already 5 am. At first the police-officials refused to hand over the copy of FIR. When the office-bearers of Oriental Human Rights Protection Forum warned to move to the Commissioner of Police, the concerned cop relented and delivered the FIR’s copy.
Talking to Nagpur Today, Nandanvan police station In-charge PI Dutta Dole said that they have sounded alert at various places to nab the accused. “We have also buzzed our informers in the area. As soon as he is found, he will be arrested,” Dole said.
