Recently, the news that “a woman in India reported domestic violence, but was raped by police officers in a police station room” has sparked anger among local residents.
On the evening of October 29th local time, a woman from Jharkhand, India, left home after an argument with her husband. Due to concerns about possible violence, she took refuge in a neighbor’s house and contacted the police via mobile phone. She was later taken to the Kamra Police Station.
The woman said that the duty police officer provided her with a room to rest, but later she was raped by Niraj Lakra, a radio operator at that police station.
The police arrested the suspect and two other officers. Additionally, 15 people, including the head of the police department, were placed on suspension.
