19-Year-Old Arrested For Raping Another Woman Using Sex Toy

A 19-year-old woman was arrested in Delhi on Monday for allegedly raping another woman by using a sex toy. The accused, identified as Shivani, was booked under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and produced before the Karkardooma Court which sent her to one-day police custody. The victim had alleged that Shivani had used a sex toy and forcefully committed anal sex upon her.

In a landmark judgment, SC decriminalized sexual acts between consenting adults of the same sex, sending a wave of happiness.But the top court stressed on consent which was violated in this case.

The incident came to fore in October last year, days after the Supreme Court decriminalised homosexuality under Section 377. However, the aspect of consent remains a debatable topic. While two men were booked and one of them was arrested as well, the victim, even after repeated attempts, had failed to lodge a police complaint against the accused woman. She had gone to Seemapuri police station in Delhi, but cops refused to book the accused.

The victim's ordeal began in March '18. She hails from Northeast India and quit her job in Gurugram to start her business.

She underwent preliminary training in Punjab's Rajpura and had to give Rs. 1.5 lakh as investment money.

The victim was taught to approach people at bus stops, railway stations etc., and explain the scheme to them. One day she met Rohit.

Rohit told the victim he worked at HCL and was ready to invest in her business. He took her to a flat in Dilshad colony.

Rohit and another accused Rahul raped the victim and shot videos to blackmail her.

The victim said things turned uglier from there. She was sent to 'please clients' and the accused woman beat her if she resisted.

Recounting the horror she went through during captivity, the victim said Rohit and Rahul pinned her down on all fours on the bed while the accused woman “raped” her using a sex toy to “make her ready for anal sex for her customers". "The woman was not forced to do it. She was deriving pleasure out of it. I want to see her punished along with the other two," she was quoted as saying.
