7 arrested in Hisar gangrape

September 26, 2012 20:39

After drawing flak for alleged delayed action, Haryana Police today arrested seven persons from Uttarakhand in dalit girl gangrape case which may be tried in a fast-track court.

Even as the case sparked outrage, another woman in Haryana was allegedly raped at gun point in her house by three men, who made a video clip of the crime and circulated it Jind district.

National Commission for Scheduled Caste (NCSC), which had yesterday taken strong exception to the delay in nabbing the key accused, today sought an action taken report (ATR) from Haryana administration at the earliest on the Hisar incident which took place earlier this month and has asked Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to ensure that such incidents are not repeated.
