“23-Year-Old Daughter of PCS Officer Gangraped in Moving SUV in Lucknow: Accused Arrested”

LUCKNOW: A horrifying incident occurred in Lucknow, where a 23-year-old daughter of a serving PCS officer was gangraped in a moving SUV. The incident took place on December 5, but it only came to light on December 10 night when the survivor lodged an FIR at Wazirganj police station. The police wasted no time and swiftly arrested the three accused on Monday. The arrested individuals were identified as Satyam Mishra (22), Suhail (23), and Aslam (31), all of whom are from Lucknow and are first-time offenders.

The Additional DCP, West Zone, Chiranjeev Nath Sinha, who supervised the investigation, provided details about the incident. According to Sinha, the survivor had visited the KGMU on December 5, where she was receiving treatment from a psychiatry doctor. Later, she stopped by a tea stall owned by one of the accused, Satyam Mishra, who worked at the gate of the department where she was undergoing treatment.

Sinha stated, “We conducted a verification drive of 120 kiosks/stalls and took their photos, which were then shown to the survivor. Based on her identification, we apprehended Satyam, who worked at the tea stall owned by Suhail and Aslam, whose vehicle was used in the crime.” He further added, “The surveillance details and CCTV footage from ITMS played a crucial role in confirming their involvement in the crime.”

As per the police investigation, on the fateful day, the survivor sought help from Satyam to charge her phone battery. He offered to charge her phone in a parked ambulance, but unexpectedly, the driver left with a patient. Satyam and the survivor chased the ambulance and caught up with it near the IT college crossing. However, the situation took a horrifying turn when Satyam’s two associates, Aslam and Suhail, forced the survivor into a car and drove towards Safedabad in Barabanki.

A police officer familiar with the investigation narrated the ordeal, stating, “They stopped at a restaurant to buy food, which they forced her to eat. As the car sped along, Satyam filmed his associates sexually assaulting her one by one. In a desperate plea, she begged Satyam to delete the video and drop her off at her friend’s house in Indira Nagar. Instead, they abandoned her at Munshipulia, leaving her traumatized and physically injured, before fleeing the scene.”

When the survivor reached her friend’s place, she discovered that her mother and the police were already there, as her friend had alerted them. To protect the survivor’s privacy, her identity has not been revealed, following Supreme Court directives related to sexual assault cases.

This incident has once again raised concerns about the safety and security of women in Lucknow. The swift action taken by the police in apprehending the accused is commendable, but it also highlights the urgent need for stricter laws and stricter implementation to prevent such heinous crimes in the future. Society as a whole must come together to ensure the safety and well-being of women and take a stand against any form of violence or harassment.

In conclusion, the gangrape of a 23-year-old woman in a moving SUV in Lucknow has shocked the city. The survivor’s bravery in coming forward and the prompt action taken by the police in apprehending the accused are crucial steps towards delivering justice. It is imperative that society addresses the root causes of such crimes and works towards creating a safer environment for everyone..
