Judge Goliya and the two other accused threatened him of dire consequences if he spoke about his ordeal, she alleged in her complaint.
The other accused were identified as Anshul Soni, the judge’s stenographer, and Rahul Katara, another staff of the judge, reported The Indian Express. Mathura Gate SHO Ram Nath told TIE,
On the basis of the complaint, an FIR has been registered against Judge Jitendra Goliya and two others for rape and other charges under sections of POCSO Act. The investigation of the case has been handed over to a senior officer.
