Embarrassed over the failure to arrest those involved in the alleged gang rape of a Board topper, the Haryana government on Sunday ordered the transfer of Rewari's SP and replaced him with another officer.
Rahul Sharma has been posted as the new SP of Rewari in place of Rajesh Duggal. The police arrested Deendayal, the owner of the tubewell room where the gang rape took place. Police said he gave the room's keys to the accused where they committed the crime. The police have also detained a medical practitioner, who was called by the accused when the condition of the 19-year-old rape survivor deteriorated.

Cops said the medical practitioner gave the survivor first aid, but did not inform the police even though he knew she was raped, claiming the accused threatened him. The police have faced flak for treating the gang-rape incident casually by citing jurisdiction issues.
Meanwhile, the family of the gang-rape survivor rejected the compensation cheque of '2 lakh sent by the Haryana government. "Is this the value that the government has calculated for the gruesome crime committed on my daughter? We reject the compensation offered. We want justice for our daughter," the survivor's mother said.
Multiple raids underway
Haryana police conducted raids at several places on Sunday to nab the three accused, including an Army man, wanted in the gang-rape case of a young woman in Mahendergarh district. Raids were being conducted at several places in Haryana as well as in Rajasthan, Delhi and some other states, a senior officer, who is part of the investigations in the case, said. "Multiple teams are working to nab them. We are hopeful of arresting the accused soon," he said.
