RAJKOT: Police officials have not made any arrests six days after a
dalit woman registered a complaint of kidnapping, rape and being
forced into prostitution. Officials said the two main accused are on
the run.

Kuvadava police sub-inspector PM Parmar, who is investigating the
case, said Vinod Koli and his wife Savitri have been accused in the
case. The two have also been booked under the Prevention of Atrocities
Act. The woman had filed the complaint on Tuesday. The Schedule Caste
Schedule Tribe cell is also looking into the case, said Gulabdas
Kubavat police stating officer of Kuwadava police station.

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. Here, 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.
