A senior office bearer of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh has been booked on rape charges by the police on the complaint of a woman, following which, the BJP leader has resigned from his post.
According to police, the arrested woman identified as Geeta, a resident of Ludhiana, Punjab, lured a 15-year-old girl while her parents went to their native place and held her captive in Surat, Gujarat, for four months.
A youth was arrested on charges of molestation at a village within the Kotulpur PS area in Bankura.
Hundreds of villagers, primarily women, blocked the road connecting Falakata in Alipurduar district today to protest the alleged rape and murder of a five-year-old girl.
According to Mr Bista, they wanted to extend their solidarity with the family members of the girl in their quest for justice and to ensure severest of punishments for the perpetrator.
According to reports, the woman was raped and her husband held hostage by 17 men when the couple was returning home from a market.
The Police have suspected that the accused also tried to rape the girl.
As per the reports, the mob demanded the handover of the accused so they could punish them with their own hands and bring justice to the victim.
A rape convict should be punished by no other means than surgical castration. A death penalty ends with the hanging. The guilty individual does not survive to regret. Capital punishment has very little utility as a deterrent to other men
