As per the FIR lodged at the Kanina police station, the victim was going to her coaching centre when two people came to meet her at a bus stand and gave her water to drink. Soon afterwards, she lost consciousness. After committing the heinous crime, the perpetrators left the victim near a bus stop in an unconscious state.
“They (rapists) took her to a well where there were more people. My daughter was left in the worst possible state. Modi said ‘beti bachao, beti padhao’. How do we educate them? My daughter can’t go anywhere. Give justice to my daughter. Police is asking us to go here and there. The rapists are roaming around my house. No action has been taken yet. Where should we go. Nobody is listening to us. Neither the police nor the government,” The survivor’s mother was quoted in a report.
