Kutch rape during Navratri |
All the claims of women’s safety during Navratri in Gujarat are turning out to be false promises, as the state reported another gruesome rape case. A woman was raped in Kutch by her friend’s employer in the wee hours of Monday while returning from a Navratri event.
The incident took place in Rapar’s Adesar village. The woman went to play garba with her male friend Sanjay and was returning with him on his motorcycle around 1 am.
After she complained of dizziness, they stopped by the factory where Sanjay worked, near Garbi Chowk, to have some water.
Sanjay’s employer Pravin Karsan Goyal, the factory owner, and his friend Bharat also arrived at the spot from a garba event.
While the woman was resting in a room in the factory after having water, Pravin forcefully locked Sanjay and Bharat out and carried out the heinous act while spewing abuses at the victim.
The victim filed a complaint against Pravin Karsan Rajput at Adesar police station, which led to the accused’s arrest on Wednesday evening.
Commenting on the incident, the Adesar police inspector said, “The accused, Pravin, went to the factory with a friend after the garba event. As he saw his employee Sanjay and a young woman in the factory, his intentions turned malicious. Whether the woman and Sanjay went to the factory to drink water or for some other reason, it cannot be determined as of now.”
