Shahjahanpur (UP), Jun 18 (PTI) A 32-year-old child care home worker here has accused the head of the centre and one of his associates of raping her, a police officer said on Wednesday.
The woman had been posted at the Azizganj-based Bal Grih (Child Care Home) by the Social Welfare Department last year, Superintendent of Police Rajesh Dwivedi told PTI.
According to her, the centre-in-charge, Nemchand, had been harassing her ever since, he said.
Nemchand also allegedly made a video of her beating children and used it to blackmail her, the officer said.
According to the FIR, Nemchand and his associate Mukesh Dixit allegedly threatened to get the woman terminated and raped her several times over the last one year.
A video recently surfaced on social media, showing the woman hitting children.
A week ago, the administration filed a complaint against her in connection with that incident, police said.
The officer said Nemchand and Mukesh Dixit have been booked under charges of gang rape and criminal intimidation, and the woman sent for medical examination.
