The victim has already recorded her statement before the magistrate under section 164 of CrPC in connection with this case on April 22.
Failing to arrest the alleged accused Pradeep Sangwan after eight days of registration of the case has raised question mark s over police efficiency. People are anticipating that police may be trying to suppress the case which is why they have adopted lackadaisical approach in it.Sources said that police may procure non-bailable warrant against the accused. Victim has been living in Derhadun under police protection.
The victim who was an employee at Joyland water park, near Sahastradhara owned by Pradeep Sangwan, has alleged that she was sexually exploited by Pradeep at a hotel in Mussoorie and Rajpur. Apart from this, he had made her video clipping and threatened her several times over this case.Police have collected evidences related to this case. Delay in arrest of Pradeep Sangwan has raised question whether police are in pressure as it happens in most of the high profile case.
