SURI: A woman was allegedly molested in a hotel room at Suri on Friday. A gang of youths posing as CID officers allegedly barged into the room and outraged the woman's modesty. The couple lodged an FIR with Suri police on Tuesday.
The couple, a resident of Birajpur village, had come to Suri for the woman's treatment. On Friday, after they failed to get a bus back home, they decided to lodge at a hotel near Suri bus stand. The couple met the Birbhum SP Rishikesh Meena and narrated the incident.
They alleged that some youths posing as cops had knocked on their door late on Friday night. When the husband opened the door, they asked for the wife. The woman was in the bathroom. No sooner did she come out than a youth allegedly pounced on her and molested her.
The husband alleged that he was beaten by the goons. According to their complaint, the miscreants threatened the couple by naming an influential local political leader. They had earlier tried to lodge a police complaint but was prevented by the political leader's men.
Meena said, "A senior police officer has been assigned to look in to the matter. Action will be taken if anyone is found guilty."The manager of the hotel said, ' The accused persons too booked a room in our hotel. We heard some hot-talks at midnight but what happened exactly is not clear to us.'
Rishikesh Meena, SP, Birbhum said, ' An Fir has been lodged. At this stage of investigation we do not want to disclose the detail whatever information we have so far gathered.'
