Just in: The Punjab and Haryana court takes suo motu cognisance of the Patiala rape case and issues a notice to IG Patiala.

The rape victim committed suicide in Punjab after the police adopted a lackluster attitude and failed to act on her complaint at an appropriate time.

While the entire country is currently seething with the issue of rape, the incident happened in Badshahpur village of Punjab's Patiala district on Wednesday (December 26) where the girl committed suicide while leaving behind a suicide note blaming the police and the rapists for her predicament.

The girl was allegedly abducted by three men on the night of the festival Diwali in November after which she was gang-raped several times and then dumped on the road.
