Anticipatory bail of man who raped daughter-in-law rejected
GURGAON: The Punjab and Haryana high court has rejected the anticipatory bail to a man who allegedly raped his daughter-in-law at their Gurgaon residence.
The victim's father had registered an FIR with the Sector 5 police on May 28.
The victim had alleged that her father-in-law used to rape her and no
one in the family came to her rescue. She had also alleged that her
mother-in-law always sided with her father-in-law when she complained
about him. The victim had been living in the Gurgaon house with her
husband and in-laws.
According to police, the FIR has been registered and investigations are on. The suspects, however, are yet to be arrested.
The suspects moved an anticipatory bail petition in the high court and
during the hearing, the suspects' counsel submitted that they were old
and allegation of rape was baseless.
The victim had registered
the FIR under Sections 365, 498A and 506. The victim's father had
alleged that his daughter was tortured for dowry by the in-laws.
Rejecting the anticipatory bail to the suspects, Justice Rakesh Kumar
Jain said, "I am of the considered opinion that it is not a fit case for
grant of anticipatory bail as the allegations are very serious."
Meanwhile, the local police have still not started tracing the
suspects. Asked about the status of the investigation, a senior police
officer said: "I am not aware of the high court order. The case has been
registered and the investigations are on." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/Anticipatory-bail-of-man-who-raped-daughter-in-law-rejected/articleshow/20673423.cms
