Mumbai: Close on the heels of the alleged rape of a 25-year-old woman in Hinjewadi last week, a 19-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two army jawans while on duty. The incident took place on Wednesday night in an isolated area near Swaraj Garden at Pimple Saudagar under Sangvi police station jurisdiction.

The victim works as a waitress at a hotel near Morwadi. Sangvi police have arrested the two jawans from 17 Rajputana Rifles identified as Rajneesh Suresh Chandra Kumar, 26, of Uttar Pradesh and Saumdar Mahipal Singh, 30, of Rajasthan on Thursday.

Assistant commissioner of police Vishnu Mane said the victim had gone to Swaraj Garden to meet her boyfriend around 8.30 pm on Wednesday. “As they were talking, the two jawans — one of them in army attire and the other dressed casually — arrived on the scene. One of them allegedly beat the boyfriend and took the girl to a bunker in the garden and raped her,” Mane said. When the girl tried to scream, the suspects threatened her with a sharp weapon.

The suspects took the girl’s cellphone number and said she would have to come whenever they called her. They called her at 11 pm the same night.

On Thursday, the girl lodged a police complaint. “We laid a trap, but the jawans didn’t come. Inspector BS Sonawane then spoke to the commanding officer of 17 Rajputana Rifles who handed them over,” he added. The suspects have been booked for gang rape and have been remanded in police custody till April 15.

Call records give the lie to rape charge

Abhinav Garg , TNN, Mar 17, 2010, 05.33am IST

NEW DELHI: Relying on evidence gleaned from call records and mapping of the accused’ movement through location of cell phone towers, the Delhi High Court has acquitted a Delhi Police constable of raping a woman. Instead, the court found it was sex by consent.

A division bench comprising Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Suresh Kait reversed the ruling by a trial court and set free Vijender Singh, accused of raping a woman who ran a boutique in Kalkaji. The judges concluded that the duo had consensual sex as the woman wanted Singh, who was a beat constable in Kalkaji in 2004, to threaten her husband and in-laws.

‘‘It is apparent that the two were known to each other. It is apparent that the woman was using the services of Singh to further her interest in the criminal prosecution which she had launched against her husband and in return, he was using her youth...if at all they had sex in the night as claimed by the woman it has to be sex by consent,’’ the bench noted saying no offence of rape is made out.

HC zeroed in on the woman and her false claim after browsing through the detailed call records that showed how many times the duo conversed on their mobile phones on the night when she claimed she was raped. Evidence from the records showed the woman was in regular touch with Singh, with 8 calls exchanged between them on December 22 and 23, 2004. Moreover, the court also verified claims by Singh that he was seduced by the woman to have sex with her, by retracing his movement on the day of the alleged offence. The towers showed Singh’s presence at various locations, belying the claim of the complainant that she was raped on that day.

On her part, the woman had alleged she was raped and tried to make light of the several phone calls by claiming Singh must have called on her mobile and ‘‘left it open for 8 minutes.’’

While trashing her defence, the court also severely criticized the lower court for ignoring such strong material evidence in the form of call records. ‘‘The trial judge has dealt with the evidence in most clumsy and injudicious manner. He has treated the issue as if it was child’s play and has trivialized it,’’ HC noted.
