Midnight raid: Court to order lodging of fresh FIR today

Update: 2014-01-29 23:51 GMT
A Delhi court will pronounce on Wednesday its order on a plea by another African woman seeking registration of fresh FIR against unknown persons for allegedly molesting her during the recent midnight raid by a group purportedly led by city law minister Somnath Bharti.

Metropolitan magistrate Chetna Singh on Tuesday reserved the order after Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) B S Jaiswal had refused to register separate case saying that she had been made witness in the first FIR relating to the same incident.

The DCP’s report was vehemently opposed by the Ugandan woman’s counsel Rakesh Sherawat saying the ‘incident is common but the complainant is also a victim in the incident and she was also molested by few people out of the group of 10 and hence the offence on her body was committed separately’.
