Once proud bearers of the police uniform, two former police officers are now facing imprisonment after being convicted in an 11-year-old gang rape case in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
The court has sentenced a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and a former Inspector to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment each in connection with the gang rape of a woman who was two-and-a-half months pregnant at the time of the incident.
According to the case details, the accused officers allegedly first implicated the woman’s husband in a false criminal case and then sexually assaulted his wife, taking advantage of her vulnerable circumstances.
Court Delivers Its Verdict After 11 Years
After a prolonged legal battle, the Fast Track Court-II, presided over by Judge Prabodh Kumar Verma, convicted both accused and awarded them 20 years of rigorous imprisonment each. The court also imposed a fine of ₹1.20 lakh on each convict.
Names of the Convicted Officers
- Brijmohan Yadav – Former DSP (Circle Officer), now retired.
- Vegpal Singh (also known as Vedpal Singh) – Former Sub-Inspector, later promoted to Inspector.
Justice Prevails, No One Is Above the Law
The survivor had to fight a long legal battle to seek justice. When she allegedly failed to receive adequate action at the local level, she approached the High Court, leading to further legal proceedings.
After years of proceedings and examination of evidence, the court finally convicted the two former police officers.
The verdict sends a strong message that no one is above the law. Misuse of official authority and power cannot shield anyone from accountability.
