DETAILS OF THE CASE
Miscreants threw a piece of metal at the car when it was passing through Dostpur village on Saturday, forcing the driver to stop, police said. When the driver came out of the car to examine the damage, the criminals overpowered him and allegedly forced him to drive the car off the road and into the fields. Then they dragged the women to a nearby field and raped them while the men were tied with ropes.
One of the family members, who managed to untie the ropes, reported the matter to police.
The incident has sparked outrage in the country with opposition parties attacking the Akhilesh Yadav government alleging that “goonda raj” was at its peak in the state and governance had collapsed. Meanwhile, SHO Ramsen of Kotwali Dehat, to whom the case was reported, was relieved from the charge of the case due to his alleged negligence.
