Woman drops charges of sexual assault against civil judge

HYDERABAD: A woman who had accused a civil judge of subjecting her to sexual assault in his chamber dramatically retracted her statement and dropped all charges before a judicial magistrate in Sehwan on Wednesday.

According to Ayaz Tunio, counsel for the judge who was suspended in the wake of assault charges, the complainant had recorded a statement under Section 164 Cr.PC, and stated that since the judge was sending her back to her parents she levelled such charges against him in a fit of anger to stop him from doing so.

She said the door of the judge’s chamber was not locked and police recorded her statement in Darul Aman Larkana where she was sent by a judicial magistrate after she filed the complaint under 365-B.

The complainant did not go to Sehwan police station for lodging FIR with charges of sexual assault and she disclosed that the video that went viral was recorded by police at the police station and denied that she was subjected to sexual assault by the judge.
