Rohtak, May 6
In a shocking incident, a married woman and her husband “consumed” poison on the premises of the IG office here today. The woman identified as Alka died at the PGIMS here while her husband Sunil had been admitted to its ICU.
According to police sources, the couple had come to meet V Kamaraja, IG, here in the afternoon in connection with the case registered at Samalkha police station in Panipat district on June 20, 2008. The case was registered on the complaint of Alka against five men.
Alka’s father-in-law Roop Singh alleged that the couple was feeling traumatised and frustrated as the police had later cancelled the said FIR. The couple had been running from pillar to post for justice for about a year but in vain. The couple consumed some poisonous substance in front of the IG office in the afternoon.
Roop Singh said his grandchildren were present at Model Town police post when the incident took place. Alka’s body was later sent for post-mortem by the police. He alleged that the rape accused had been threatening and blackmailing Alka, as they had recorded the gang rape incident in a CD.
