JOIN USIn a complaint lodged with the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Betul, the 23-year-old woman said she was assaulted late on Saturday when she was waiting for her husband who had gone out to buy food.
“A man clad in khaki uniform approached me and asked why I was sitting alone at the platform. When I told him that my husband had gone out to get some eatables, he started asking foolish questions. Realising that he was unnecessarily harassing me, I moved on to the other platform but he followed me even there and asked me to accompany him to the police station claiming that my husband had been arrested,” the woman said in her complaint filed on Sunday.
She said while taking her to the police station, the man stopped her in an isolated corner of the platform where four others joined him and all five raped her in turn. As they left, they threatened that her husband would be arrested if she reported the matter to the police.
