A minor girl was rescued from the house of a woman civil judge following order from the High Court on Monday. The police raided the house located in the Judges’ Colony in Roshanabad with the permission of the district judge.
A senior divisional civil judge allegedly harassed a 14- year- old girl from Nainital for the past four years.
On receiving the complaint lodged by the victim’s father through the State Women Commission, local police raided her house and recovered the girl. She was sent for medical examination at the district hospital later.
SSP Krishna Kumar V K said, “We had received a letter from the High Court, stating that a 14- year- old girl who was working in the civil judge’s house was being subjected to physical and mental torture. We are now probing the matter."It is really a shameful act from a judicial officer’s side.
The emergency medical officer at the district hospital A K Singhal said that the victim had received 20 injuries, including a burn injury, on her body.
Till the time of filing this report, no FIR had been registered.
