Bangalore, October 15: A second year law student of the National Law School of India University was allegedly gang-raped on the campus on Saturday night.

The 21-year-old lodged a complaint with the Jnanabharathi Police on Sunday, in which she alleged that she was raped by a group of eight men.

According to the complaint, late on Saturday, the woman—who stays at the university hostel on the campus—went out with her friend, Rakesh (name changed), who works with an IT firm in the City.

Around 10 pm, when the two were walking in the forest area of the university campus, a gang of eight men—all drunk—attacked them and forcibly took them deep inside the forest.

Rakesh claimed that the men attacked him with an iron rod and demanded money. He told them that his wallet was in the car.

He was then sent back to the vehicle with one of the men accompanying him, leaving the woman with the rest of the gang.

As the two approached the car, Rakesh sighted a beat constable of the Jnanabharathi Police Station. He ran towards the road, crying out for help. The man sent by the gang to accompany Rakesh then escaped into the forest.

Rakesh, along with the constable, combed the area for the gang and the woman. Soon, they were joined by more policemen from the station who searched the area, but in vain.

Around 12:30 am, Rakesh got a call from the woman saying that the gang dropped her back near the hostel and that she walked back to the building.

Later, she lodged a complaint with the Jnanabharathi Police stating that she was abducted by the men and taken two km further into the forest where they gang-raped her.

A special police team combed the area all through the night, but there was no trace of the gang.

The woman was sent to Vani Vilas Hospital where a medical test was conducted on her.

However, the police said that her condition is stable.

Some senior police officials, though, expressed doubts over the sequence of events.

“We have registered a case under Section 376 of the IPC and are investigating. There are some conflicting and contradicting versions given by the victim. The medical report is awaited and we can reach a conclusion only after we get the report,” said S N Siddaramappa, DCP (West).

Mar 12: Three women were arrested for allegedly administrating fake coronavirus vaccines to villagers in Maharashtra's Jalna district, police said on Thursday.

The police on Wednesday arrested Beed residents Radha Ramnath Saamse, Seema Krishna Andhale and Sangeeta Rajendra Avhad, who allegedly posed as doctors and healthcare workers, an official said.

The trio met villagers of Pipalgoan in Ambad tehsil, informed them about a vaccine that could protect them from coronavirus and administered it to gullible locals, he said.

Some villagers informed Dr Mahadev Munde, a medical officer at a rural health centre, about this, after which a complaint was lodged, the official said.

Fake vaccines and bottles, which were seized from the accused, have been sent to the state health department, he said, adding that a case of cheating has been registered against the trio.

Jun 25: A 16-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide at her house in east Delhi and her family members secretly buried her body, which was later exhumed for post-mortem, police said on Wednesday.

The girl, whose family hails from Jharkhand, allegedly hanged herself in a room in her house on Monday, they said.

No suicide note was recovered from the spot, police said.

Her body was exhumed on Tuesday as per the directions of the Sub Divisional Magistrate of the area. The process was carried out as her family members secretly buried her without informing the police.

The post-mortem will be conducted after Covid-19 tests, police said.

The incident took place on Monday. The reason behind her taking the extreme step is yet to be ascertained, they said.

Police said the girl lived with her mother and two siblings. The family hails from Jharkhand and are financially extremely weak. Her father died two years ago, they said.

After the father’s death, the girl's mother along with her siblings took her body to a burial ground and buried her, police said.

The police said the matter came to their notice after a neighbour alerted them about it. Following the information the body was exhumed, they said.

On questioning the girl's mother, she told police that she didn't know that one has to inform police in a suicide case, a senior police officer said.

Inquest proceedings have been initiated, police said.
