A drunk man in Uttar Pradesh has allegedly raped his married younger sister in the absence of her husband after entering her house, Times of India reported.
According to the report, his friend, who was also drunk, filmed the act.
The crime took place at the woman’s in-laws’ place last month in Moradabad and it came to light only when the accused began to stalk and harass her.
The woman’s parents initially put pressure on her not to go to the police. However, after being harassed and threatened, the woman decided to lodge her complaint on Friday. And the Moradabad police registered an FIR on Monday against her brother and his friend, the national newspaper report added.
In her complaint, the woman said she had informed her husband and the couple wanted to approach the cops immediately, but was prevented by her parents for “family’s reputation”. The woman later decided to lodge the complaint after the accused “continued to roam outside her house and tried to harass and intimidate her”.
According to police, on 23 December, the woman’s “alcoholic” elder brother, along with his friend, reached his sister’s in-laws’ place on the pretext of “some important work” and bolted the doors from inside, and raped her. The accused then threatened to upload the video clip online, if she informed anyone.
“The FIR has been registered against the main accused and his friend under IPC sections 376 (punishment for rape), 452 (house trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation),” Darvesh Kumar, Civil Lines SHO in Moradabad said.
“Both the accused are still at large and efforts are on to nab them,” he added.
