Rajasthan magistrate accused of asking rape survivor to undress, FIR filed

The FIR quotes her as saying, “I was called back and asked to remove my clothes so he could see the bruises. I said, ‘how can I show you my bruises?’ I would have been comfortable in front of a woman, but the judge insisted. Then the judge told me not to inform anyone regarding this matter. I request authorities to take action in this matter.”

The FIR was lodged on March 30, though the judge has not been named.

Deputy Superintendent of the SC/ST cell, Mina Meena, who is investigating the matter, told The Indian Express that the case is under investigation.

“We have started the process and, after recording her statement under 164 CrPC, we will apply for permission to question the magistrate,” said Meena.
