KOLKATA: A 28-year-old homemaker was allegedly raped by her brother-in-law at a guest house in south Kolkata on Saturday. The victim lodged a complaint at Bowbazar police station in central Kolkata on Sunday afternoon. She hails from a village in Hooghly's Jangipara and had come to the city for her mother-in-law's treatment, said police. The accused, Biswajit Porel, has gone into hiding.
On October 12, the woman had come to Kolkata along with her husband, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and maternal uncle for her mother-in-law's treatment. "The victim's mother-in-law is suffering from a cardiac ailment and was admitted to Medical College and Hospital for installing a pacemaker," said an investigator.
According to the victim's complaint, she had stayed with her mother-in-law at the hospital ward on Friday night, while Porel slept within the hospital premises. Her husband and maternal uncle had left for home by then.
The next morning, the homemaker wanted to take a bath and wash her clothes when Porel offered to help her. They went to the SSKM area to look for a room where the victim could wash her clothes. Porel also took her to the Sambhunath Pandit Hospital complex, but failed to find a place.
"In these hospitals, some Group-D staffers rent out their quarters to the relatives of the patients. Porel was probably looking for a similar kind of accommodation," said an investigator.
When Porel failed to find a place in the hospital, he took his sister-in-law to a guest house on Turf Road in south Kolkata. It was here that Porel overpowered the woman, gagged and raped her, the victim's complaint stated.
When they left the guest house and reached Medical College, she did not disclose the matter to her mother-in-law. Later, the woman called up her husband and informed him about the turn of events. On Sunday, the victim, accompanied by her husband and other relatives, lodged a complaint at the outpost of Medical College and Hospital.
"We have registered a case of rape and looking for the accused," said DP Singh, DC (central).
Porel who runs a small shop in Jangipara fled soon after the complaint was lodged. The case may, however, be transferred to Kalighat Police since the woman was raped in that area.
The victim had come to Kolkata with her relatives for her mother-in-law's treatment. She was raped by her brother-in-law when they had gone to a guest house so she could clean her clothes, say police.
