NDTV, Friday May 8, 2009, Rohtak
A police officer's office has become the scene of yet another suicide by a rape victim in Haryana. On Wednesday, a young couple tried to kill themselves outside the Rohtak DGP's office in protest against his inaction after 25-year-old Alka was raped.
Alka is now dead and her husband is critical.
Now their relatives have taken up the fight. They are refusing to cremate Alka until the guilty are punished. Roop Singh, father-in-law of Alka, says: "This is not justice. We will not take the body until the police officers and the guilty are punished."
Last June, Alka had filed a case of gang rape against 5 men at a police station in Panipat. But evidence against them was not enough, so they are still free.
