Bhopal (Agencies): Taking cognizance of the gang-rape of a 19-year-old Civil Services aspirant, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday directed a fast-track trial into the case. Chouhan also directed stringent action against negligent policemen.
The incident took place on Tuesday when the girl, who was returning home after attending her coaching class, was abducted by four men and allegedly gang-raped.
The girl was allegedly abducted and raped by four men near railway tracks in Bhopal on Tuesday night when she was returning home after attending a coaching class. The incident took place around 10 p.m. in the vicinity of the Habibganj railway station when the four men abducted the woman.
Police have arrested all the four accused and booked them under the relevant sections of the IPC. According to reports, all the four men took breaks for tea and gutka and repeatedly raped her for three hours. According to reports, the girl kept fighting and hit the accused with a stone. Furious, they hit her with a stone as well, tied her up, and raped her.
A report said that the Government Railway Police (GRP) men mocked the girl for "coming with a filmy story" when she went to file a complaint. She reportedly had to go to three police stations to register the FIR, according to another report in NDTV.
SHO GRP Mohit Saxena has been suspended for alleged misbehavior during filing of complaint. Maharana Pratap Nagar SP, SHO Habibganj Bhupendra and SHO Maharana Pratap Nagar Sanjay Singh have also been suspended.
Speaking to ANI, Government Railway Police (GRP) SP Anita Malviya said, "When the victim reached the desolate railway crossing, the four men dragged her under a culvert near the railway tracks and took turns to rape her before fleeing. They fled assuming the girl to be dead. The girl usually takes a bus while returning to her Vidisha residence, but that day she opted to take a train."
"On the basis of the complaint lodged by the woman, a case was registered at the GRP Police Station (Habibganj Railway Station) as the area where the crime occurred falls under their jurisdiction. They have been booked under sections 376 D (gang rape) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention)," she said.
