Woman cop files rape case against Army officer
The Bhopal police have registered a rape case against a Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian Army on a complaint lodged by a woman constable of the Madhya Pradesh Police on Thursday.
Less than two months after an eight-year-old girl was raped in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur, a special court awarded death sentence to the two accused on Tuesday.
The Mandsaur court pronounced the sentence hours after it convicted the two of raping the minor girl on June 26.
