Raebareli outrage: Police allegedly pressures victim to settle molestation case | WATCH

In a deeply troubling incident in Raebareli, two young men named Sonu and Monu Singh allegedly molested a young woman in broad daylight. Despite the gravity of the situation, no case has been officially registered at the local police station. Instead, the police are reportedly exerting pressure on the victim and her mother to settle the matter privately, rather than pursue legal action.

Harassment and Threats

The incident occurred when Sonu and Monu Singh were returning after dropping off the sister’s daughter. According to the victim, the two men began to harass her, crossing all boundaries by touching her inappropriately, including her private parts. The woman, determined not to be a silent victim, resisted their advances. However, this only escalated the situation, as the men allegedly threatened to kill her if she continued to resist or spoke out against them.

Police Inaction Raises Concerns

What is particularly alarming about this case is the reported inaction of the local police. Instead of taking immediate steps to ensure justice and protection for the victim, the police are said to be pressuring her and her mother to settle the matter outside of court. This kind of behaviour from law enforcement not only undermines the severity of the crime but also perpetuates a culture of impunity for such offenders.

Demand for Justice

The case has sparked outrage among local residents and women’s rights groups, who are demanding that the police register the case and conduct a thorough investigation. They argue that the pressure to settle is a gross miscarriage of justice and call for immediate action against both the perpetrators and any police officers involved in the cover-up.
