SHILLONG, APR 30: One of the accused persons in an alleged gangrape case in Shillong has filed an FIR against the victim for sexually assaulting him.
The FIR was filed with the Rynjah police station on Monday (April 29).
“One of the accused persons, who was a minor/juvenile at the time the crime was committed, has filed an FIR at Rynjah PS against the woman that he was sexually assaulted by her on that day,” East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police (SP) Rituraj Ravi said on Tuesday.
“Accordingly, the FIR has been registered under POCSO Act and IPC and investigation is under progress,” he informed.
Earlier, police had arrested four including a juvenile for alleged involvement in the gangrape case after an FIR was lodged by the victim. This also came after the video of the alleged gangrape, which took place in September 2023, went viral recently.
In his FIR, the accused person claimed that he was 17 years old and was a school student when the incident took place last year in their rented house. He accused the woman was known to him and his friends and she wanted to make YouTube video of her gaming, songs etc and she used to tell him to share her videos with his school friends and she even visited their residence on few occasions.
He said in September 2023, he was surprised to see the woman at their house where she had allegedly attempted to sexually assault him.
“I felt extremely harassed and humiliated at that time and the same had left me very shocked and surprised. However, since I was a student of class 10 at that time, I did not inform about the said incident to my parents or my teachers and elders thinking that I will be scolded and kicked out of school and my parents will stop my education. Recently, I came to learn that…(the woman) has lodged one FIR about the said incident showing that she was the victim, however I want to inform the actual facts of the incident and to say that I was sexually harassed by her when I was a class 10 student. However, I did not immediately lodge the FIR since I was threatened by her, and I was very scared of my parents and teachers that if any one comes to learn about the incident, it may tarnish the reputation of me and my family. As such, the delay is not intentional and may kindly be condoned. Moreover, an application under Section 438 CrPC was also filed by me before the Court and an interim order was also passed in my favour. I, therefore, request you to take necessary action against her as per law and punish her,” the accused person stated in the FIR.
