Haridwar, Uttarakhand – In a case that has stunned the nation, a former BJP Mahila Morcha office-bearer and her lover have been arrested for allegedly facilitating the repeated gang rape of her 13-year-old daughter over several months. The horrific details emerging from police investigations reveal a chilling pattern of abuse that even veteran officers found disturbing.
Key Details of the Case
- The Accused: The 40-year-old woman, who held a significant position in BJP’s women’s wing until August 2024, and her 35-year-old boyfriend.
- Modus Operandi: The mother reportedly lured her daughter into a car under the pretext of outings, where the minor was assaulted by the boyfriend and his friends.
- Victim’s Testimony: “I screamed and begged my mother to stop them, but she told me, This is normal—you’ll have to endure it,” the survivor recounted during a 5-hour police recording.
How the Crime Unraveled
The minor was rescued after her father noticed her traumatized behavior during a rare visit. Upon questioning, she disclosed the abuse, prompting him to file a police complaint. Investigations revealed:
- The mother had separated from her husband months earlier, taking the daughter while leaving their son behind.
- Luxury cars and rapid political rise of the accused had raised eyebrows among party workers earlier.
Political Fallout
Though removed from her post in 2024 over “disciplinary issues,” the accused remained active in BJP events, even delivering speeches on women’s empowerment. The party has distanced itself, stating:
“The law will take strictest action. Such behavior has no place in our ideology.”
Broader Implications
- Legal: Charges include POCSO violations, gang rape, and criminal conspiracy.
- Societal: The case has ignited debates about abuse within families and political accountability.
Next Steps: Police are identifying additional accomplices while the survivor undergoes medical and psychological care.
