A male cancer patient has alleged that he was sexually abused by three police personnel in Haryana, who mocked his illness before committing an unnatural sexual act, according to a complaint filed on Thursday.
Incident Details
The complainant, a resident of a village in Haryana, stated that he was called to the police station on Wednesday evening on the pretext of a routine inquiry. Once inside, the three accused officers allegedly locked the room and began taunting him about his cancer diagnosis. The victim claimed that they said, 'You are going to die anyway, so what difference does it make?' before forcibly subjecting him to an unnatural sexual act.
Police Response and Investigation
The victim managed to escape and immediately filed a complaint at the same police station. However, the duty officer allegedly refused to register an FIR. He then approached the Superintendent of Police, who ordered an inquiry. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the allegations. The three accused officers have been suspended pending investigation, and a case has been registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code for unnatural sex and criminal intimidation.
Broader Impact
This incident has sparked outrage, with activists demanding strict action. 'The abuse of power by those sworn to protect is deeply disturbing,' said a local rights activist. The victim is receiving medical and psychological support. The Haryana Police have assured a fair investigation, with the SIT expected to submit a report within a week.
