Uttarakhand girl accuses lawyer of rape

RAJKOT: A 24-year-old girl from Udhampur district in Uttarakhand has accused two persons, including a lawyer, of raping her in Bhavnagar.
The victim has filed complaint with A-division police station against Bhagwan alias Bhagaji and lawyer Prakash Patel.
According to police officials, girl's father Sugriv Chauhan had died in an accident at Alang ship-breaking yard in 1999. She and her mother had come to the city three days ago to withdraw a fixed deposit amount from the bank.
"Poonam was earlier dealing with one lawyer called Jagdish Rawal, but they did not find him as he had shifted his residence. Meanwhile, they met Patel, a resident of Chavdigate area. Patel assured them to of help in this regard and asked for Rs 3,000 as fees. Poonam agreed to pay him," police said.
On Tuesday, Patel then called up his friend Bhagwan and both of them took the girl and her mother on separate bikes saying that they need to go to the bank to withdraw the amount.
On the way, the duo dropped her mother mid-way and took away the girl with them at Patel's house, where Bhagwan allegedly raped her. Patel was standing outside the house when Bhagwan was allegedly raping her.
"We have arrested Patel and Bhagwan and are investigating the case,'' police inspector, A-division police station, Pradeepsinh Jadeja said.
