Bodo girl works as domestic help
Gurgaon, Dec 31: A 22-year-old girl, belonging to a tribal community of Assam, was raped in Greenwood City Sector 40, Gurgaon, on Tuesday night (Dec 30). The girl has been living in Gurgaon for the last two years. She used to work as a domestic help till two months ago and was out of job at present.
According to police sources, the victim had met the accused, Manish, through her boyfriend, Uttam, who is also from Assam and runs a momo shop. Manish works in an automobile company in Manesar and had promised the victim the job of a maidservant at his relative's place.
The police said Manish took the victim to a flat in Greenwood City in a car on the pretext of getting her the job. There, he asked the girl to consume alcohol, however she declined. He then offered her juice that was mixed with some intoxicant and raped her. The accused also forced the girl to wear inappropriate clothes and clicked her photographs. Police officials said the victim was raped repeatedly the whole night. Reportedly, the girl also told the police that the accused was taking her photographs even while committing the crime.
Around 5 am on Wednesday, the girl managed to slip into the bathroom with her mobile phone and called her boyfriend to tell him about the incident. Uttam then called the north east support centre and help line and informed them. Around 8 am, the helpline team arrived at the Sector 40 police station and lodged a complaint.
Meanwhile, the accused took the girl in his car and dumped her. The victim then managed to reach the police station. The police have registered a case against Manish under Section 376 of IPC and prevention of atrocity against SC/ST act.
Kailash Chand, ACP (east) said, "The girl has been medically examined and the reports will come in a few days. We have arrested the accused and are interrogating him.'' He further said that investigation has revealed that neither the flat nor car belonged to the accused. While the flat was rented, the car was hired by Manish.
Meanwhile, NE support centre and help line spokesperson Madhu Chandran expressed displeasure over the insensitivity with which the police were handling the case. "Instead of interrogating the accused, they are posing embarrassing questions to the girl. They should not be harassing her further," he alleged. Chandran further said that a team of women was counselling the victim, who is traumatized and shocked after the incident.

The satellite towns in Delhi have become crime-hub with reports of robbery, murder becoming a regular feature in Noida, Greater Noida and now a rape in Gurgaon.
In a bizarre incident a 21-year-old girl, Meena (name changed), belonging to the Bodo tribe from Assam, was on Tuesday night forced to consume liquor, shown vulgar videos, stripped and photographed, then raped allegedly by 35-year-old Manish.
Meena was staying with her friends in Sikandarpur and was looking for a job. Earlier she was employed with a family of foreigners and used to stay with them. After they left the city, Meena moved with her friends, and was in a look out for a job.
Apparently, Manish helped Meena find a job and was to escort her to her new employers last evening. Instead, he took her to his house.
Meena managed to call her friends in the morning and told them what had happened. Her friends in turn got in touch with North East Support Centre (NESC) and offshoot of All India Christian Council, who, as the name suggests, provide support to people from North East India working in the national capital region (NCR).
By then Manish dropped Meena in the vicinity of her house, and gave her Rs 100 to hire a transport back home.
"The girl was not in favour of reporting the matter to the police as she was scared and didn't want her family back home to know about it," says Madhu Chandra, spokesperson of NESC. Meena was given counselling and she finally agreed to take the police’s help.
The FIR has been registered by Sector 41 police station in Gurgaon after which Manish was arrested. A medical examination was carried out on the girl at a local hospital here and the report was awaited.
"W are happy with the way police have acted in this case," says Chandra.
