The Delhi Police has booked a serving Army Major for raping his domestic help.

An FIR has been registered at Delhi Cantonment police station, but no arrest has been made so far. The incident is reported to have occurred in July, while the complaint was registered in September.

The victim said the police had been reluctant to register her complaint, given the high status of the Army Major, and tried to shield him.

According to the FIR, the victim, who comes from Sambhal city of Uttar Pradesh, said that she, along with her husband, worked at the Army Major's resident in Delhi Cantonment. She stayed with her family in the servant quarter.

The victim said that on July 12 at around 10 pm, the Major sent her husband to sell off a refrigerator and called her to his room. Upon sensing something wrong, she refused to come inside the room. The Major then slapped her and dragged her inside the room.

When the victim's husband returned home, he found out about the Major's misconduct.

The Major brutally thrashed the victim's husband as well. When she tried saving her husband, the Major threatened to shoot the couple, and began hitting the woman after which she lost consciousness.

When she got back to her senses, she found herself unclothed on the Major's bed. The Major, who was drinking, threatened that if she didn't obey him, he will shoot her off along with her family.

The victim said the Major then raped her again and asked her to go to her sister-in-law's house for the night. He told her that he will make everything right.

The victim alleged that an hour after she went to her sister-in-law's house, the Major came there told her that her husband committed suicide by hanging himself.

As per the victim's complaint, the Army Major with his brother-in-law's help, killed her husband and passed it off as a case of suicide.
