A case has been registered against 30-40 unidentified officials of the Rajasthan Police for allegedly assaulting Srikant’s (the accused in the Bhiwani deaths case) pregnant wife.
In the case registered, sections related to miscarriage have been invoked.
The family of Srikant, who was arrested in connection with the Bhiwani deaths case in which two charred skeletons were found inside a burnt car in the northern Indian state of Haryana, on Sunday alleged that their full-term pregnant daughter-in-law lost her child after she was assaulted by the Rajasthan Police during a raid on their house.
Srikant’s mother Dulari demanded action in this matter and registered a complaint on Saturday.
Complainant Dulari said that at 3 am on the night of February 16, around 30-40 people from Rajasthan Police came and forcibly entered her house.
“When I told them that my son Shrikant was not at home, they started abusing and thrashing us. They also entered my pregnant daughter-in-law Kamlesh’s room and pushed and assaulted her. When Srikant was not found, the Rajasthan Police forcibly took away both my younger sons Vishnu and Rahul,” she claimed.
“The cops also kicked the pregnant wife of Shrikant in her stomach and she started having stomach pain.
Because of the critical condition, she was referred to the Medical College in Nalhar where her child was born dead,” she added.
She said that her daughter-in-law is still hospitalised in critical condition.
The pregnant wife of the accused Srikant in the Bhiwani incident said, “I don’t know who pushed the door, or who hit me but they came at night to investigate. Why did they come at night? They came to find my husband Srikant. They started breaking the furniture and other things in the house.”
Earlier on Thursday (16), two skeletons were found inside a charred SUV in the Loharu area of the Bhiwani district.
Later, investigations revealed that the skeletons were of two Muslim men– Junaid and Nasir– from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur, who were allegedly abducted.
Rajasthan Police have made one arrest in the case.
Rajasthan Police on Friday said special teams had been formed to arrest suspects based on an FIR filed by a family in Rajasthan alleging that the deceased had been kidnapped from the state’s Bharatpur district.
