Jalandhar, July 15
The family members of a girl, who was allegedly filmed in an objectionable condition by a resident of the same village, allegedly took revenge by stripping the accused’s wife and making her video.
The incident took place at Sailkiana village of Phillaur around 9:30 pm yesterday. The girl’s family members also allegedly put the accused’s SUV, two bikes and a scooter on fire.
Earlier, the girl consumed phenyl and was admitted to the local Civil Hospital. Her brother, who was allegedly hit by the accused, is learnt to have lost his vision. He was admitted to the Phillaur Civil Hospital.
The girl’s family first lodged a complaint with the police, alleging that the accused had uploaded the victim’s objectionable pictures and videos on Facebook and even shared these with them. The police raided his place, but he was found missing.
Later, the family members of the girl barged into the accused’s house and started ransacking it. While the man was away, they allegedly caught hold of his wife, tore her clothes and made a video.
Gurdawar, the husband of village sarpanch, alleged: “The victim (girl) has lost her parents and the accused has blinded her brother. Now, he is levelling false allegations against her family by setting his vehicles on fire and ransacking the house. No one from the girl’s family tried to strip his wife. It is a concocted story. The police are not taking any action against him.”
SP (Investigation) Sarabjit S Bahia said FIRs would be lodged against both sides. The Phillaur SHO said: “As of now, we have registered one FIR against the girl’s family. As many as 29 persons have been booked under Sections 458, 323 and 506 of the IPC. A police team has gone to the Civil Hospital in Jalandhar to record the statement of the girl for a counter FIR.”
