'Coimbatore Rape Survivor Was Not Subjected to 2-Finger Test': IAF Chief Responds to Officer's Charge

News 18  

The survivor of an alleged sexual assault at the Indian Air Force training academy was not subjected to the “two-finger test” as claimed by her, chief of the Indian Air Force Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said on Tuesday. Days after an air force officer was arrested for allegedly raping a fellow woman officer at a training academy, the Indian Air Force has been allowed to proceed with the court martial of the flight lieutenant. The court allowed the air force to proceed against its officer, in the wake of a jurisdictional tug of war between the IAF and the Tamil Nadu Police. The air force officer was arrested by an all-women team of Tamil Nadu Police on September 26, after the woman lodged a complaint.
