North East Support Centre & Helpline

North East Support Centre & Helpline condemns Mumbai Molestation and demanded culprits must be booked and punished. A north east 17 year old girl still denied justice even after appealing to National Commission for Women and case registered.

A minor girl of 17 years old who is doing a designing course was molested repeatedly by her landlord in Gurgaon, Haryana. After failing the repeated attempt to rape, the house owner, in frustration threw out the girl along with her sister and cousin from the house without any reason at midnight. The North East Support Centre & Helpline went to lodge an FIR at Gurgaon Police station today, but the police denied even registering it.

On December 2, 2007 at around 9.30 pm , the owner came and molested her knowing that she was alone. He tried to lure her and forced to use her. When she denied, he tried to strangulate her. On December 9, she was again attacked by the lustful owner who is already married and has two children. He molested her and tried to rape her but the attempt was failed as the girl raised alarm and brought attention to the outsiders. On December 11, at around 7.30 pm, house owner went inside and molested her. Luckily she was not alone that day; her cousin was inside the bathroom taking a bath. On hearing the shriek from the girl, the cousin came out and saw their owner running out of the room.

The next day without any notice or reason they were thrown out of the house along with their belongings. "Some of our belongings are still locked in that room" Victim's sister said "The owner even slapped my cousin and threatened to use violence to my friends who came to help us in shifting." On being asked why she did not inform the police when the owner first tried to rape her, victim confessed that she was terribly afraid, humiliated and ashamed.

The fact finding team with the help of Dr. John Dayal - member of National Integration Council met Assistant Commissioner Police thereafter med Commissioner Police, DLF Gurgaon on December 15, 2007. The Fact Finding team were told that a case (FIR No 552 of 2007 Police Station DLF, Gurgaon District, Haryana) under the section of 354, 376, 511 IPC sec 3-33-89 Sc/St Act was registered and culprit will be arrested soon.
