Subject: [issuesonline_worldwide] woman victim harassed by police

Friend
Here is a case of continuous harassment to a woman victim by police in the
name of inquiry.
Though Criminal Procedure Code of India, Section 160 clearly stated that
police can not call any woman for inquiry / investigation / interrogation at
any office of Police.

*160. Police Officer's power to require attendance of witnesses.*

(1) Any police officer making an investigation under this Chapter may, by
order in writing, require the attendance before himself of any person being
within the limits of his own or any adjoining station who from, the
information given or otherwise, appears to be acquainted with the facts and
circumstances of the case; and such person shall attend as so required:

Provided that *no* male person under the age of fifteen years or* woman
shall be required to attend at any place other than the place in which such
male person or woman resides.*

*Please take note, that the victim woman was sexually abused by one police
constable and one specific police case was registered against that
perpetrator.*
