Shimla: A new revelation came into lime light on Tuesday when a 19 years old medical student was allegedly gang raped in a moving car on Sunday in Shimla. The Haryana student had tried to complain to the police about being stalked by a person on Sunday just before she was raped.
She came to the police personnel at Lakkar Bazaar chowki, near the Ridge Maidan, there she was advised to go to Dhalli police station with her complaint. However, before reaching Dhalli police station she was gang raped in a moving car and then was thrown on streets with torn clothes.
Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Jai Ram Thakur directed additional chief secretary (home) Manoj Kumar to order a magisterial inquiry into the incident by additional district magistrate (law and order), Shimla, Prabha Rajeev.
On the direction of Jai Ram Thakur, Himachal DGP S R Mardi set up on Tuesday a special investigation team (SIT) headed by additional SP (city), Shimla, Praveer Thakur, to investigate the rape case.
The CM on this said, “The BJP government is serious about maintaining better law and order in the state. No laxity will be allowed.”
