The National Human Rights Commission has sought a detailed report from Rajasthan Police in the Tonk minor gangrape case reported in Rajasthan on May 5.
Taking a cognisance of the petition filed in Tonk minor rape case by advocate Sunil Kumar Bainsla on Monday, the National Human Rights Commission, on Tuesday, directed the Rajasthan DGP to collect facts over phone within three days and present action taken report to the commission within four weeks in the case.
Acting promptly on Bainsla's petition, the commission said that an action taken report should be submitted within four weeks from the date of receipt of the letter or else the commission shall invoke its coercive process for personal appearance of the concerned authorities.
The complainant, in his online complaint filed on Monday, alleged about the kidnapping and gang rape of a minor girl on May 5 at about 8 pm in Tonk district.
In his complaint, he alleged, quoting media reports, that the family members of the assailants are pressuring the family members of the victim to settle the matter and not to register the complaint.
The complaint sought the intervention of the commission among other things for a direction to the chief secretary and DGP for expeditious investigation, compensation to the victim, and to provide protection to the victim.
Four persons were arrested on Wednesday on charges of gang-raping a 16-year-old minor in Rajasthan’s Tonk district, police said on Wednesday. The accused took her to an isolated place and took turns to sexually assault her, before dropping her near a pond in Bacheda village on Wednesday morning, the complaint alleged. The rape survivor, who was lying at that spot in an unconscious condition, gradually regained her consciousness and managed to reach her home. She shared her ordeal with her parents, who then filed a First Information Report (FIR) at Pachewar police station
