Chandigarh: A 20-year-old married woman was
allegedly raped by two men at a village in Fatehabad district
of Haryana, which has seen a spurt in rape cases.
The woman alleged in her police complaint that she was
raped by her neighbour and another person yesterday.
She alleged that the two accused barged into her house
when she was alone. The victim was threatened with dire
consequences if she reported the matter to anyone.
The woman had got married six months back, police said.
"We have registered a case of rape against her neighbour and other co-accused. The accused have also been booked under other relevant provisions of the law. They will be arrested soon," Fatehabad's SP Deepak Saharan said over phone today.
Haryana has recently witnessed many cases of rape.
On Tuesday, a 14-year-old boy had allegedly raped a
3-year-old girl in a colony in Hisar.
A 15-year-old girl's half-naked body was found on
Saturday from near the bank of a canal in a village in Jind
district after she had gone missing last Tuesday from her
village in Kurukshetra district.
The girl was brutally assaulted, her private parts
mutilated and some of the vital organs ruptured, police said.
In a separate incident, an 11-year-old girl was raped
and killed in Panipat last week.
Alleging complete breakdown of law and order machinery,
the opposition Congress has sought dismissal of the Khattar
government and imposition of President's Rule in the state.
