DSP Ramandeep Singh said in his complaint that the preliminary inquiry conducted by him found that the victim met Inspector Daljeet Singh and apprised him of the crime, narrated the entire incident how she was raped and where the accused had left her at a secluded place on the border of Sector 79/80. “The victim also gave a written complaint to Inspector Daljeet Singh, but the officer delayed taking action and registering FIR,” DSP Ramandeep Singh stated in his complaint.

The victim stated in her complaint that the accused had picked her from Sector 68 on the morning of April 15 and took her to Sector 67 where he first raped her. The accused then took the victim to a secluded place on the border of Sector 79/80 where he again tried to rape her but she managed to come out of the car and the accused left her.

Call centre owned by Tandon The call centre whose woman employee was raped is owned by Chandigarh BJP chief Sanjay Tandon. “We have very strict rules and regulations for the security of our employees. Our general manager is taking care of the entire matter. I have not got full details of the incident. My GM is the right person to talk to,” Tandon said.
