Lie-detector test of rape accused sought

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old woman, who has accused four Delhi Jal Board officials of criminally assaulting her, met National Commission for Women Chairperson Girija Vyas here on Wednesday and demanded that the accused be subjected to a lie-detector test to establish the authenticity of her charges.

She also demanded that the Delhi police be directed to arrest the accused against whom an FIR was registered on the directions of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kamini Lau last month.

In her complaint to the NCW Chairperson, the victim said though the FIR was registered on June 9 at the Malviya Nagar police station under Section 376 (g), 506, 384 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, the four accused have still not been arrested or charge-sheeted.
