A 25-year-old woman reportedly committed suicide in the office of the

Rajpura Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).

She was allegedly upset over the “lackadaisical” attitude of the police
officials looking into her complaint for the past few days.

In a suicide note, she alleged that a resident of Rajpura and his uncle
had sexually exploited her for nearly two months.

The woman, Arti, a resident of Jaggi Colony, Rajpura, came to the


office of the SDM with a letter this morning and demanded that she be
allowed to meet the SDM.

In her letter, she stated that the duo, identified as Des Raj and
Bhinda, have sexually exploited her and now she wanted to end her
life as no action was initiated against them despite repeated
complaints.

SDM Gurtej Singh said a woman was shouting outside her office and
he called her inside. “As soon as she sat on the chair, she complained
of vomiting and fainted,” said the SDM. He said she was rushed to the
civil hospital where she died later in the evening.

The SDM said the letter she was carrying had been forwarded to the
Rajpura DSP for investigation. The letter stated that the police officials
failed to initiate action against those who allegedly raped her for nearly
two months. Demanding stringent action against them, the letter
stated that her three children should be taken care of after her death.

Meanwhile, Rajpura SHO said the woman was booked in a theft case a
few months back. She along with the two men - Des Raj and Bhinda -
had called up a man from Nabha on the pretext of giving prize by a
mobile company and robbed him of cash and mobile phones near the
Rajpura grain market.

Three incidents of chain snatching wherein three women were relieved of their gold
chains worth Rs1.29 lakh were reported in the city recently.

The incidents took place at Hadapsar, Salisbury Park and Navi Peth areas.

Sujata Vijay Bhosale (37), a resident of Shukrawar Peth has lodged a complaint with
the Swargate police stating that two unidentified persons on two-wheeler snatched
her gold chain worth Rs60, 000. The incident took place at Salisbury Park area when
Bhosale was waiting for an autorickshaw.

In the second incident, a suspect snatched a gold chain worth Rs45, 500 of Shalini
Sanjay Karande (37), a resident of Mumbai and escaped. The incident took place at
Hadapsar on late Saturday night. Sub-inspector Dattatreya Survase of Hadapsar
police station is investigating the case.

In the third incident, a 75-year-old woman fell prey to some unidentified chain
snatchers at Navi Peth on late Sunday night. A complaint has been lodged by Vijaya
Yashwant Kale (75), a resident of Phatakbaug Navi Peth with the Vishrambaug
police.

The police said the incident took place when Kale was returning home from the
medical shop. The suspects snatched her gold chain worth Rs24, 000 and fled on
two-wheelers. Sub-inspector RS Jagtap is investigating the case. No arrests have
been made so far.
