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).

May 12: A Madhya Pradesh Police sub-inspector was fined Rs 5,000 after he performed a daredevil act of balancing himself on two moving cars, copying the famous stunt from Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Singham'.

Manoj Yadav, the in-charge of Narsinghgarh police post in Damoh district, was also warned against any such daredevilry in future, police sources said on Monday.

Sporting shades as the hero of the cop drama film and wearing his police uniform, Yadav got the entire episode video-graphed, they said.

As the video of the stunt went viral on social media, senior police officials took serious note of it as it will send wrong signals to youngsters, the sources said.

Inspector General, Sagar range, Anil Sharma directed Damoh Superintendent of Police Hemant Chauhan to probe the matter.

After an investigation, Chauhan imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on the sub-inspector and warned him not to repeat such mistakes.
