Alleging that media is circulating “false and misleading” details in a rape case against JNU research scholar Anmol Ratan, lawyer of the complainant Vrinda Grover has shot off a letter to SHO Vasant Kunj North.
Grover has asked the police to stop the “selective leaking of information that compromises the identity and privacy of the complainant”.
The complainant, in her letter, said she was not given a spiked drink before rape. The complainant said nowhere in her FIR stated that the accused spiked her drink or that she became unconscious or sedated due to it, and that she was then raped. However, the media reports published otherwise. Grover has also written the letter to Delhi Commission for Women.
The police had given statements to the media on August 21, the day the complaint was filed against Ratan, saying that the complainant had alleged that Ratan had spiked her drink and raped her after she became unconscious in his hostel room.
Grover has written in the letter, arguing that “the complainant and her family are extremely disturbed and distressed by this distorted, false and misleading reportage of the case”.
