The state has witnessed some shocking rape cases in the past few months which led to criticism for the Haryana government under CM Manohar Lal Khattar.
The murder of Pradyuman Thakur (class-2 student) in Ryan International School in Bhondsi, Gurugram on September 8 sparked widespread outrage. It led to demands for enhanced security measures in schools.
In February, a woman was allegedly abducted and raped by three men in Haryana's Palwal district, police said, reported news agency PTI.
The matter came to light after the woman lodged a complaint today, Mahila police station in-charge Kamla Devi said. The woman alleged that when she was returning home on February 15, the accused abducted her in their car and raped her, the police officer said.
In her complaint, she also said that the men threatened her of dire consequences if she reported the matter, Devi said, reported PTI.
Recently, just barely a week back, a six-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a youth of the same village, following which the accused was arrested, the police said.
