Police’s refusal to register her complaint
She additionally alleged police refused to register her case and also ignored it.
“I went to the Dholai police station and registered the case on October 25 after a long argument with the police. But the police did not even ask the accused to come to the police station… The accused later threatened again to kill me. I had to run away… I am moving on the streets of Silchar town like a beggar because I have to feed my son,” she said.
Accused to be prosecuted
Sahabuddin Barbhuiya, who is Dholai police in charge, refuted the claims by the sufferer and stated that the 2 accused men had been arrested and they’re being interrogated.
