Allahabad High Court Orders Inquiry into Police Delay in Registering Rape FIR in Ghaziabad

Analysed 13 Aug 2026·3 sources analysed·Uttar Pradesh, India·Crime
Allahabad High Court Orders Inquiry into Police Delay in Registering Rape FIR in GhaziabadPreviousNext

The Allahabad High Court has ordered an inquiry into the Ghaziabad police's failure to register an FIR after a woman accused her employer, Arpit Gupta, of digital rape, molestation, and criminal intimidation. The court questioned why the FIR was not initially registered, compelling the victim to seek magisterial intervention. Gupta, who denies the allegations, had filed an extortion complaint against the woman. The court rejected Gupta's petition to quash the rape FIR, emphasizing the police's duty to register complaints without assessing their truth at the outset.
