Haridwar: Even after more than seven months after she was allegedly raped by her husband and two of his friends, a woman has claimed that police have not taken any action in the case so far.
Speaking to media persons on Friday, the woman, a resident of Baraut in Uttar Pradesh, alleged that on January 14, 2022, her husband along with two of his friends, Mandeep Khatri and Sachin Chauhan, raped her at a hotel in Haridwar.
She further alleged that the accused took photos and recorded video of the act. As for the reason behind her husband's actions, the woman said that he wants to divorce her but she is refusing to do so and hence her husband resorted to such an act to malign her character. She claimed that her husband has threatened to do the same with her daughter.
