NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, INDIA officer, in the Police Station in District Mahasamund Chhatisgarh. According to the news report, the victim had gone to the police station to lodge a report against her own husband. The clerk at the Police Station took her complaint and informed the in-charge of the Police Station who directed him not to allow the victim to leave the station. At about 9 in the evening, the chowki in-charge along with one other person came at the Police Station and took her to a room, on the pretext that they will enquire about the matter thoroughly. She was subsequently raped by the police official. ii. Taking cognizance in the matter, the Commission directed the Director General of Police, Government of Chhattisgarh to submit an action taken report. In response Inspector General of Police (IGP) Headquarter, Raipur, submitted that on the complaint of the victim, crime no. 93/2016 under Section 376B/34 IPC was registered. After investigation, accused Akesh Kumar Sinha, son of Nattar Kumar Sinha, resident of Police Station Bundali Chowki, Police Station Tenukona and ASI Gajanath Sahu, son of Ram Ghulam Sahu, were arrested and charge sheet had been submitted under Section 376(2)a(1) and 376B IPC on 17.10.2016 and now the matter is sub judice before the court. iii. In view of the rape by that very police official, to whom the complainant had approached for lodging complaint, the Commission observed that the incident was sad, shocking and disturbing in a society governed by rule of law.

The said direction of the Commission was complied with by the State Government by making direct ECS payment into an account of the victim. 13. Gang rape of Smt.
