Jammu, June 8: Two brothers who were involved in one of the heinous crimes of “Incest” rape case were arrested by Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Jammu and Kashmir police.

 

Both these brothers were absconding since 2017 and were wanted in rape case at police station Basholi and were arrested from New Delhi and Surjan Mangyar area of Kathua district.

“Both the accused are involved in incest rape and had been absconding for a long period of time to evade their arrest. They have been arrested after well coordinated and integrated efforts put in by a vigilant team of CB Jammu constituted for this purpose,” he added.

 

Incest rape means “the crime of having sexual intercourse with a parent, child, sibling, or grandchild”, and these criminals were accused of rape of that nature.

 

Giving details, SSP said that case owes its origin to the complaint lodged by one Bali Ram S/O Dewan Chand R/O Village Nagali Tehsil Basohli of District Kathua with Police Station Basohli on allegation of rape.  The case being heinous and that of immense public importance in nature was transferred to Crime Branch Jammu for in-depth Investigation.

Charge sheet of the case was produced against the accused persons in the Court of law. “However, charge sheet against absconding Bittu Singh and Kewl Singh was produced U/S 512 Cr.PC as both of them were at large, evading their arrest by constantly changing locations both within the UT of J&K and outside UT,” he added.
