Bilaspur: Members of several Hindu organisations geraoed Ratanpur police station last evening protesting against the arrest of a widowed woman, who was charged by a family of allegedly sexually exploiting their 11-year-old boy. The protesters claimed that the 37-year-old woman was falsely implicated in the case as she refused to withdraw the complaint of rape filed by her daughter against a youth of that family.
Two months back, a complaint was filed against a youth for allegedly raping the arrested woman's daughter. Following which, the youth was arrested. It is being alleged that the family of the accused pressurised the victim to withdraw her complaint. But, when the complaint was not withdrawn, the youth's family filed a counter-complaint against the victim's mother alleging her of sexually exploiting their minor boy. After receiving the complaint, the police arrested the widowed woman.
After gheraoing Ratanpur police station, many members of the Hindu organisations reached Bilaspur SP office. The protestors submitted a memorandum to Bilaspur SP demanding action against the family for implicating the victim's mother in a false case.
