The 24-year-old had travelled from Auraiya to attend a hearing Thursday when Jitendra Singh alias Jitendra Dhakre took her to a hotel, served her alcohol during the car ride, and assaulted her. Police arrested him two days later after he jumped from a neighbour’s rooftop during a raid and fractured his legs while trying to flee.Lawyer jumps from house to evade cops, breaks legs The rape survivor had come to Agra to appear in court in connection with the gang-rape case against three men in Etmadpur. Advocate Jitendra Singh, who, she said, approached her the same day, claimed he could mediate a settlement with the other accused. He later booked a room for her at a city hotel, saying it was too late for her to return home. The woman told police that Singh initially left her in the hotel room but returned later that night with dinner and, under the pretext of discussing the case, allegedly raped her. She added that though he locked the door from inside and prevented her from leaving, she managed to slip out under the pretext of getting water and hid inside the hotel until he left. She approached police the following morning and filed a complaint, based on which an FIR was registered under BNS section 64(1) (rape). Investigators visited the hotel, collected CCTV footage and visitor records, and launched a manhunt to trace Singh. A forensic team examined the room, and officials said both digital and physical evidence were being preserved. Police also recovered entries from the hotel’s visitor register and CCTV footage showing Singh and the woman entering the premises together. Agra DCP (city) Sayeed Ali Abbar said, “During a raid at the accused’s house, he jumped from a neighbour’s roof and fractured both legs. He was admitted to SN Medical College. We secured his remand Saturday and produced him before the court. He has been sent to judicial custody. The woman was sent for a medical examination.”About the AuthorSudeep LavaniaSudeep Lavania is a Digital Content Producer with Times of India.
