In yet another shocking incident of rape in Uttar Pradesh, a maulana (religious preacher) had allegedly raped a woman head constable on multiple occasions, over one year, on the cunning plan of exorcising evil spirit from her son in Baghpat, the police confirmed.

Police added that First Information Report (FIR) was registered against the maulana on the complaint of the victim cop and raids were done to arrest the maulana, identified as Zubair of Momeen mosque in Bagpat.

In a recent statement, the Bhagpat police confirmed that the accused has been arrested and a complaint has been registered against him.

Ompal Singh who is a circle officer, Baghpat, said that victim’s husband was a constable in UP and after his demise, his wife was appointed on his position as head constable.

“The victim’s husband was a constable in UP police and after his death, she was appointed on his place as head constable. About a year back, her son got seriously injured in an accident and as he was undergoing treatment in a hospital in Meerut.”

The circle officer added: “Someone ill-advised the victim woman that her son was under the influence of evil spirit and that she must contact some ‘tantrik’ to get rid of them. She then approached maulana Zubair of a nearby mosque on July 3, 2018 and asked him for a solution. The maulana directed her to come back late in the night the same day. The victim did as she was directed.”

The officer further added, saying that night, the maulana told the victim woman head constable that her house was under the influence of evil spirit and if she doesn’t get rid of it, her son would die.

The woman got scared and then followed the maulana’s directions, who raped her several times till September 30, 2019 ‘in the name of exorcising the most powerful ghost’.

According to the circle officer, the maulana had allegedly taken Rs 6 lakh from the victim woman and had also promised to afford a new house for her but instead, he fled with the money. The victim also alleged that the maulana used to blackmail her.
