Haryana gangrape

Without sharing the specific locations of their hideouts, Bhasin said they kept wandering, including along the Haryana-Rajasthan border.

Earlier on September 16, the Haryana police had arrested the main accused, Nishu, besides two other suspects in the case.

During investigations, Nishu’s role had emerged as the “mastermind” in the case. Nishu is currently in police remand while the other accused, Sanjeev and Deendayal, have been remanded to judicial custody.

Sanjeev was a medical practitioner who had attended to the woman first after the crime and Deendayal was the owner of the property where she was allegedly gang-raped, police had said.

The woman was allegedly abducted at a bus stop in a town neighbouring Mahendragarh district on September 12 while she was on the way to a coaching class. She was allegedly drugged and gang-raped at a room housing a tubewell for irrigation.

The gangrape had prompted Opposition parties to demand Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s resignation on moral grounds, alleging the state had failed to protect its daughters.

Bhasin said while five persons have been arrested in the case, possibility of more people being involved in the matter has not been ruled out at this stage, something which the teenager’s family too has suspected.

The police had drawn flak for allegedly not initiating prompt action after the complaint was registered.

After the shunting out of Rewari SP Rajesh Duggal, a woman assistant sub-inspector had later been suspended over alleged delay in taking action in the gangrape case. Gandhi’s prediction.”

The minister also accused the Congress party leaders of using vulgar language and said public discourse is not a “laughter challenge”.

“I have said how public discourse should be. It is not a laughter challenge. You go and hug someone, then you wink, utter lies 4-6-10 times. Your words should reflect intellect. Vulgarity and abusive language does not suit the world’s largest democracy,” he added.

Jaitley said a controversy is sought to be created on the basis of a statement made by Hollande that the Reliance Defence ‘partnership’ with Dassault Aviation was due to the suggestion of the Indian government.

“He (Hollande) has, in a subsequent statement, said that he is ‘not aware’ if Government ever lobbied for Reliance Defence and that ‘the partners chose themselves’. Truth cannot have two versions,” the minister said.

Referring to Hollande’s remarks, Jaitley said: “The French Government and M/s Dassault Aviation have categorically denied the correctness of the former President’s first statement.

“The French Government has stated that the decision with regard to the offset contracts of Dassault Aviation are taken by the company and not the Government. Dassault Aviation itself has suggested that they have entered into multiple contracts with several public sector and private sector companies with regard to the offset contracts and the decision is entirely theirs.”

As per the second statement of Hollande, Dassault and Reliance selected themselves as partners, the minister said.

“This contradicts his first questionable statement which the French Government and Dassault have denied. The facts contradict the same. His second statement in Montreal, Canada to AFP (news agency) makes the veracity of his first statement even more questionable,” he added.

Hollande was the French president when the ₹58,000 crore deal for buying 36 Rafale jets was signed in 2016. varaj of the Public Health Foundation of India.
