Policeman sodomizes a dozen schoolchildren in Rajasthan

AJMER: The horror stories of cops' brutalities continue in Rajasthan: days after rape and murder of a woman constable by her colleagues in Kota, a constable has been sent to Police Lines on charges of sodomizing at least a dozen schoolchildren at a police outpost in Ajmer's Kishangarh town.

The matter came to light when an NGO approached the police and media along with children, including some victims. The children study at a government school situated near the police outpost where the accused constable was deputed in Kishangarh.

The police said investigations were on, and that the constable would be arrested if the allegations were found true. According to reports, the accused, identified as Indrajeet Singh, was a constable attached to a police outpost situated outside the Kishangarh Railway Station. "The school, where children from nearby villages study, is not very far from the outpost," said Hariprasad Sharma, SP (Ajmer).

Indrajeet Singh allegedly lured children to the outpost after the school hours. He would promise to drop them back at the school gate and take them to the outpost. "During the time, the other outpost staff were out on duty.

The NGO has complained that Indrajeet threatened the children if they complained and sodomized them," said a police officer. However, the children informed the NGO about it. The NGO complained to the SP, Ajmer.
