TNN, Feb 17, 2011, 11.20pm IST
RAJKOT: A dalit woman has accused a married man from her village of
kidnapping her, raping her and forcing her into prostitution. In a
complaint lodged with the Kuvadava police station on Tuesday, the
22-year-old victim from Bedla village in Rajkot has also accused Vinod
Koli of falsely promising to marry her about eight months ago.
She told the police she had come to Kuvadava to catch a bus or jeep to
Rajkot to meet her brothers. While she was waiting for a vehicle, Koli
came in a car and gave her a lift. But when they reached Rajkot, Koli
did not take her to her brother's home. Instead he took her to a
rented a house and raped her. Later, he promised to marry her and took
her to Kolkata where Koli's wife Savita lived.
Some days later, Koli, his wife and the victim came back to Rajkot and
rented a house on Morvi Road. In her complaint, the woman said Savita
supported her husband despite knowing everything. Koli raped her again
after which he forced her into prostitution and started bringing
customers. Koli even threatened to kill her if she did not agree to
her demands.
On Monday, she was able to give her brothers' telephone number to one
of the girls in the neighbourhood. The girl called up the brothers who
came and rescued her. Kuvadava police sub inspector P M Parmar said
Koli and Savita have been charged with a number of offences including
kidnapping, rape, threatening to kill and illegal detention. The two
have also been booked under the Prevention of Atrocities Act.
