Gang Rape Chandigarh: Victim yet to inform parents, worried about their health
The 22-year-old gang rape victim is yet to inform her parents about the incident. The victim recorded her statement under Section 164 of the CrPC in the court today. The victim has asked the police not to try and contact her parents as she is worried about their health after hearing the news. The victim is dissatisfied with the police and has asked them why it is taking them so long to find the accused. However, the victim has not been able to help the police much. Upon asking if she remembers what the accused looked like, the victim has told the police that she was talking to her mother on the phone while boarding the auto. Later she started chatting with someone and did not notice the accused carefully or listen in to their conversations. The crime too took place in the dark, and so she couldn’t see the accused. The police are yet to make any arrest in the case and have confirmed that the accused is not registered with any auto-rickshaw union. No record of his is available in the city and neither has anyone identified him from his photograph till now. SSP Jagdale Nilambari Vijay believes that the “investigation is going in the right direction”. She held a meeting with the beat staff today and issued fresh instructions regarding the case. The search has been directed towards the unregistered and temporarily registered auto-rickshaws in the region. -PTC News
