The order was issued on Tuesday night.

A woman was allegedly raped by five men in front of her husband in Alwar district on 26 April. The assailants also filmed the crime and uploaded the video on social media.

“The SP has been removed and put under the Awaiting Posting Order status till further orders,” Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Rajeeva Swarup said.

The SHO of the Thanagazi police station has already been suspended.

  1. Deeply saddening. Perhaps Smt Priyanka Gandhi could speak to the CM and the DCM, urge them to ensure that this crime is investigated professionally and brought to a fast track court. It is covered by both the recently amended law on crimes against women and atrocities against SC / ST. The sentences could run consecutively not concurrently. 2. Ms Gandhi could act as a Minister Mentor to state governments run by her party, motivating young lady ministers to take special interest in the problems of women. They could work with fine bodies such as the Gates Foundation and the Azim Premji Foundation. One way of “ rebuilding the party “ would be to demonstrate that Congress state governments are delivering better HDI outcomes than those run by other parties.

  2. 15 din baad report aai wo bhi PTI ki copy, outrage kaha hai prime time debate cut the clutter, sc/st pe atyachar wale article kaha hai sab,…
    secular government secular crime ssshhhhhh!!!
