Imphal, May 02 2012:
A 23-year-old woman from Manipur has alleged that when she attempted to file a case of molestation against her neighbour, policemen in a Gurgaon police station refused to file a complaint and raised doubts about her character.
The victim was reportedly molested by her neighbour around two days ago and had called the police after which the accused individual had fled.
The victim told the police that she was molested after she did not lock her apartment door, CNN IBN said.
However, the police instead of lodging the complaint immediately reportedly questioned her about why she lived with two male cousins in an apartment.
An FIR was filed later.
The victim reportedly works in a shopping mall in Gurgaon.
The incident has prompted outrage with many accusing the Gurgaon police of insensitivity towards the victim.
