HC asks Gujarat govt to look into police 'inaction' over rape allegation against pharma co CMD

IndiaTimes Friday, 22 December 2023
The Gujarat High Court quashed a magisterial court order rejecting a Bulgarian woman's application for an FIR into her rape charges against a pharmaceutical company CMD. The magistrate asked her to produce evidence instead of ordering an investigation. The high court criticized the magistrate for not following the proper course of law and called out police officials for their inaction. The woman had accused the CMD of sexual harassment and rape, and she was fired after registering the complaint. The high court allowed the complainant to take appropriate action against the police officials.
