Bareilly: It seems the law and order in the state of Uttar Pradesh has totally collapsed. Even the places considered safest are not safe. The sexual predators are roaming free and striking at will. In yet another case of sexual assault, a girl was allegedly raped after she was drugged by a lawyer and his associate (munshi).

What was more shocking was that the crime took place at the temple of justice-the Bareilly court complex.

Accused shot obscene video

According to a report in Hindi daily Navbharat Times, the alleged incident took place in the chamber of a senior lawyer Roop Kishor after the student was drugged. The lawyer's munshi has been identified as Babloo. The victim, a resident of Baheri locality, also alleged the accused also shot an obscene video of her.

Meanwhile, police say they have begun a probe into the incident after a complaint by the victim.

The video of the accused being thrashed by the girl's family has gone viral on social media, said a report in News18 Hindi. The girl in her complaint alleged that she was drugged and then raped by the two accused.

Panic in court complex

The munshi allegedly laced the victim's cold drink with some drug that made her unconscious. After this, the two accused took turn to rape her. As the incident became public, there was a panic in the court complex. The incident took place on February 15 when the munshi called the girl to his chamber and the two violated her. The law student assisted the senior lawyer Roop Kishor.

As the girl did not reach home, the victim's parents reached the court and found the student in an unconscious state. The accused fled from the spot after seeing the parents of the student. Four days later, the victim narrated her ordeal to her parents. She informed them how the munshi called her into the chamber and snatched her phone. They gave her a cold drink and then she became unconscious. The girl's parents again reached the court and thrashed the accused munshi in public. Police have filed an FIR against the accused.

The accused has also filed a counter-complaint against the girl's parents for allegedly insulting him with casteist (SC-ST) slurs.

Bareilly Superintendent of Police (SP) Sansar Singh said the girl has filed a complaint against the accused. He said the victim did not file a complaint on the day of the crime. "We are probing the case on the basis of the statements of the victim. We will soon take action against the accused," said Singh.
