Rajya Sabha member Kirori Lal Meena and his 150 supporters courted arrest in protest of the incident accusing the state government of hushing up the rape case to avoid damage to the Congress before the voting for the Lok Sabha elections.
Meena is demanding a CBI probe into the matter. He said that an FIR should be registered against the police officials who didn’t take action immediately.
The accused spotted the victim and her husband on a bike. They intercepted the bike and took the couple to a nearby isolated place. They tied up the husband after beating him up and raped the woman.
They made a video of the incident and shared it on social media channels including WhatsApp.
The victim approached the police after the video was circulated on social media, but the cops in Thanagazi, didn’t take any action in the matter.
