The SHO said Prabhulal had assaulted the victim as he was suspicious that the latter had abducted his sister. The victim has said in his complaint that he had no illicit relationship with Prabhulal's sister nor had he eloped with her.
The three accused were produced in a court on Saturday after two days of police remand. The court has now sent them to judicial custody. The SHO said on the basis of a complaint from Prabhulal's sister, a case of rape under section 376 of the IPC was registered against the victim, Durgesh Lal, on Sunday and investigation is being carried out.
