The National Human Rights Commission has taken a serious view of reports that two constables – Pawan Kumar and Tej Singh – of Chhoti Sadri police station in Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan raped a woman on May 15 in their police quarters. It has sought a report in this regard from the State Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police within four weeks.

The Commission, which took suo motu cognisance of the case based on media reports on May 18, observed that the contents of the report, if true, raise serious issues of violation of human rights of the women in police custody at the hands of police officials who are supposed to protect them. The two officers of the Rajasthan Government have been asked to give the report with full details of the incident, including monetary relief, if any, paid to the victim as well as the action taken against the errant cops.

Reports stated that the woman, belonging to the pastoral Gayatri community, along with her father, was forcibly brought to the police station by the constables. She was later moved to the residential quarters of the police station and raped. The incident resulted in large-scale violence in Pratapgarh district with a 200-strong mob surrounding the police station.
