In connection with alleged rape of a woman by Pradeep Sangwan, son of ex-MP Kishan Singh Sangwan and native of Haryana (Sonipat), the Supreme Court has refused to give further stay from the arrest of Pradeep Sangwan.
After the Nainital High Court rejected his bail plea, Pradeep Sangwan had approached the apex court seeking exemption from his police arrest in alleged rape case. Now, the Supreme Court refused to give further stay order for his arrest.
A police officer said that after receiving copy of the order from the Supreme Court, a team will be sent to Haryana for his arrest.
Moreover, Sangwan’s brother in law Ajay Mann who was in contact with the woman victim and allegedly made a deal with her to settle down the case had also approached Nainital High Court seeking exemption from the police arrest earlier but his bail application was also rejected. High Court had also given order to the team for attachment of Mann’s properties.
Earlier, Special Invest
igation Team (SIT) had arrested the allegedly rape victim from her Dehradun after police collected enough evidence to indict her. She had bought land for Rs 17 lakh at Banjarawala in Dehradun using the money purportedly paid to her by the accused for reaching a ‘compromise’. Police have also recovered Rs six lakh unaccounted cash from her home. It should be mentioned here that based on victim’s complaint, a case under Sections 376 (2), 323, 506 and 66 IT Act was registered in the Rajpur Police Station on
April 18, 2014.
The victim had already recorded her statement before the magistrate under section 164 of CrPC on April 22.
