It is no doubt that the crime rate in India is increasing but in most cases, the common target of any crime is mainly women. In a recent case where a case of rape, criminal trespasses, attempt to murder, kidnapping and Arms Act registered on a police official of Hyderabad is no exception in this case.
The case revolves around the Hyderabad Police official, Nageshwar Rao who was a station House officer of Maredpally police station when he raped the woman, attacked her husband, threatened him with a revolver, and kidnapped them on the midnight of 7 and 8 July.
According to the victim woman, a police officer trespassed in her house, forcibly asked for sexual favors, and raped her. After that, the victim’s husband reached over the place and beat the police with a stick.
Then the inspector threatened them and forcibly took the couple in his car towards Ibrahimpatnam where the car met an accident at Ibrahimpatnam lake.
Fortunately, the couple escaped from the place and filed a complaint against the inspector on the morning of 8 July.
History Of The Police Official’s Rape Case
The woman victim told the police that in 2018 a case was registered against her husband and it was investigated by the same inspector Rao. Later on, Rao employed her husband at his agricultural farms. But one day the inspector took her also to his farms without the knowledge of her husband.
After knowing this her husband threatened the inspector to not repeat this again otherwise he will inform his family about the same. At that time inspector agreed and promised to not repeat this. But after some days the inspector, sub-inspector, and some constables came over to the victim’s house and took her husband to the taskforce office where they beat him up after handing him some ganja packets.
They also threatened him to not open his mouth against the advances by the inspector with his wife, otherwise, they will register a false case against him.
On 6 July 2022, the police officer called the victim woman and told her that he knows about the location of her husband and again asked her to fulfill his sexual desire. Threatened by the officer, the helpless woman called her husband and told him about the police officer‘s warnings. Her husband assured her that he is coming to the city soon leaving their children at the native place itself.
On 7 July 2022, Nageshwar trespassed into the victim’s house and raped her. After knowing the entire case the Hyderabad Police Commissioner, C.V Anand suspended Nageshwar Rao from service and investigation.
Conclusion
After knowing the entire case, it becomes apparent that this incident occurred due to a malicious desire toward a woman
In addition, it is evident that the person holding higher authority positions will not guarantee equal treatment for all.
Hence, it’s still important to understand that a women’s body is not a commodity. No one can ask for any sexual favor from a woman against her wishes! It is worth ending this article with the words of Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider–
“The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which WE seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us and which knows only the oppressors’ tactics, the oppressor’s relationships“
