“It also came to light during the investigation that before the gangrape incident, the same group of youths snatched away mobile phones and cash from a couple of students passing through the village,” he added
While as many as twenty people have been detained by the Koch police in connection with the crime, the daughter has identified two of the accused. Meanwhile, a medical test of the victims has been conducted and the reports are awaited, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Koch police station has been suspended and a departmental inquiry is expected to follow.
Earlier this year, Bihar’s chief minister Nitish Kumar received flak from the opposition for not being able to control the state’s spiralling crime graph. “The crime graph has gone up because the police have been asked to focus more on the liquor prohibition. The main agenda for cops is to nab people involved in the liquor business and leave them after taking money,” said RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
