ROHTAK: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) produced three accused in the gangrape of a 20-year-old girl in Rewari before Civil Court Kanina of the Mahendragarh district, which sent them to five days in police remand. However, two main accused, armyman Pankaj and Manish, are still on the run.

Kanina DSP Vinod Kumar confirmed the same saying, “The court ordered accused Deen Dayal, Dr Sanjeev and main accused Nishu to five days in police remand. They will be produced before the court again on September 21.”

On Monday, the president of All India Mahila Congress, Sushmita Dev, met the victim at the civil hospital in Rewari and assured the kin of the victim for all possible help to get justice in the case.

Talking to mediapersons, Dev said, “The Khattar government is not serious about the safety of the women in the state. He must increase his security, as the Mahila Congress will keep protesting against him. We also request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to change the CM.”

Meanwhile, BJP minister Rao Narbir Singh also met the family of the victim at the civil hospital and assured them of all possible help.

“Today, I met the family members who said they were satisfied with the investigation done by the SIT,” Singh said.

NEW SP SAYS HUNT ON TO NAB OTHER ACCUSED

CHANDIGARH:The Haryana police’s multiple teams are at job to nab the two absconding key accused involved in the gangrape, the new district police chief said on Monday. “A hunt is on to nab the absconding accused,” said Rahul Sharma, who took over as the Rewari superintendent of police after Rajesh Duggal was moved out on Sunday.

The SP said the safety and health of victim were one of the main concerns. “Arresting the remaining accused is another concern. However, it (the case) doesn’t end with the arrest of the accused, but it ends with their conviction. So, securing evidence and ensuring they get convicted through a fast-track court would be the next step,” Sharma said.
