UP Crime: A shameful response of a female constable to alleged rape of a 5-year-old girl has disguted everyone. In Uttar Pradesh’s Faridpur, a constable asked for a bribe of Rs 200 to file an FIR of sexual assault complaint with minor.
The incident took place in Faridpur, located in the Bareilly district. According to the victim’s mother, her daughter was playing outside their house.

When they found her at a neighboring house, they were shocked to witness a 60-year-old man named Sher Mohammad attempting to assault her. He proceeded to sexually assault the daughter. When the commotion alerted others, the accused fled the scene.
Instead of offering help and support, the mother was asked for two hundred rupees, which added to her distress.
