ITANAGAR, Oct 16 - The Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW) has constituted an ad hoc enquiry committee to probe the alleged rape of a woman doctor by the MLA of the Bameng Assembly Constituency in a hotel here.
The APSCW has also sought a detailed status report in the alleged rape case from the Itanagar Women�s Police Station and urged the police to conduct a fair and proper investigation into the case.
The doctor had lodged an FIR at the women�s police station here recently, alleging that she was raped by the MLA in a hotel where she had gone to discuss matters relating to a public health centre. She also accused the legislator of threatening to kill her if she informed anyone about the incident.
The MLA, however, filed a counter complaint with the police and dismissed the woman doctor�s allegation, claiming that it was �politically motivated� to tarnish his image in society.
Following the woman doctor�s complaint, a case was registered at the Itanagar Women�s Police Station under Sections 376(1)/354/506 of the IPC.
The women�s commission, meanwhile, has requested all sections of society to cooperate with the police for a proper investigation into the case.
