A 22-year-old woman in Nashik was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by two men in a moving autorickshaw. But when the accused's autorickshaw was halted by beat officers, the former offered a monetary bribe and fled from the spot. The alleged incident sparked a furore in Nashik.
According to Mirror Now, the victim accused police officials of not rescuing her when the autorickshaw was stopped by them. They instead let the rapists flee from the spot in return for a monetary bribe. She also alleged that she went to the police station the next day morning to register a complaint against the rapists but the case was registered six hours after she lodged her complaint.
