Nine persons were arrested from Uchana, three from Julana and one each from Safidon and Sadar Jind, he said. However, no fresh complaint was received by the team of three women officers set up to go into alleged incidents of rape and molestation of several women by Jat protesters near
Murthal. “We have not received any complaint today,” DIG (Haryana Police) Rajshree Singh said. A woman had registered a case of gangrape against seven people on Monday, including her brother-in-law, in
connection with the incident at Murthal’s women police station.
‘Initiate judicial probe’
Congress member Kumari Selja yesterday sought a judicial inquiry into the reports of rape of several women in Haryana during the Jat agitation. Raising the issue during Zero Hour in Rajya Sabha, she said there is ‘jungle raj’ in Haryana and the government has been a ‘mute spectator’ to the large-scale violence during the agitation in the state.
