Four family generations, including Grandfather and Great Grandfather, accused in horrific rape case

In the gruesome incident of rape and assault, police have registered an FIR against four generations of a family including the 90-year-old grandfather and great-grandfather of the accused, who died two decades ago in Bulandhshahr.

The case was registered on the basis of a complaint by the father of the 19-year-old survivor, who alleged that a 23-year-old man from their village had raped and sexually assaulted his daughter for nearly two years on the pretext of marrying her.

The father said in his report that the man raped his daughter recently on May 31 after she asked him to marry her. "Recently, when she was pressuring him to marry, a man took my daughter to a nearby farm on May 31 and raped her while two of his cousins ​​stood guard and threatened to kill her," the man said in his complaint. 

On June 7, the girl narrated the entire incident over the years to her father, who then approached the man's family. He claimed they were brutally beaten and warned them not to report the matter to the police.

Despite these threats, the girl's father went ahead and lodged a complaint with the police, who lodged an FIR against 10 members of the family.

Earlier this week, the accused family met Shlok Kumar, Superintendent of Police, Bulandshahr, who directed the concerned police officers to look into the matter and conduct a fair investigation.

According to Nishan Singh, Ahar police station officer, a case has been registered under sections 376, 147, 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

He said their involvement in the crime would be investigated and necessary action would be taken against those found guilty. "We are also probing the family's claim of the accused who is dead. Teams have been formed and raids are underway to arrest the main accused," Singh said.
