After the government’s initiative, when the judicial code was amended, a new hope was raised among the people. Now the complainant will be able to register an FIR in any police station anywhere. Despite the implementation of this law, the women’s police station in Darbhanga violated the new rule and did not register an FIR of a victim and asked her to register an FIR in a police station in Patna.
According to the information, a woman from Patna district has accused a boy from another religion living in Hayaghat police station area of Darbhanga of sexual exploitation. It is alleged that the boy sexually exploited her for several years by luring her with the promise of marriage. Meanwhile, the woman came to know that the accused has now married another girl.
On getting the information, she reached Hayaghat police station with her sister to lodge a complaint. The policemen present there told her to go and stay at her in-laws’ house. Since the house was locked, she reached the women’s police station on Thursday night to lodge an FIR. The lady station in-charge Aarti Kumari present at the women’s police station refused to register her FIR and said that you should register the FIR in Patna police station.
In this regard, SSP Jagunath Reddy said that this case will be investigated. Action will be taken against whoever is found guilty in this case. Action has to be taken in the police station under the new law. It will be investigated under what circumstances the FIR of the victim woman was not registered.
