Two days after a 19-year-old student alleged that she was abducted from a bus stop on her way to a coaching centre, drugged and gang-raped in Haryana's Mahendargarh district, raids were conducted to arrest three accused, police said on Friday. A Special Investigation Team was also set up to probe the case.
The father of the young woman, a school topper who was felicitated by the government, said she could have been raped by eight to 10 men.
The mother hit out at the police for allegedly failing to take action in the case and said her daughter was traumatised even as the accused "were roaming freely" after the incident.
"The government talks about Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao, but is this the price we have to pay for getting our daughters educated? The accused are roaming freely but police has failed to nab them," the 19-yer-old's mother told reporters in her village in Rewari district.
"The police has failed to take any action. We were made to run from pillar to post before our complaint was taken. The FIR was registered at 1 am as the police kept citing jurisdiction issues making us shuttle between Rewari and Kanina," she claimed.
"All we want is justice," the mother said.
