A 15-year-old girl was brutally raped allegedly by three men who inflicted injuries all over her body and broke her limbs before throttling her in Kopardi village in Ahmednagar district, sparking outrage as well as political slugfest with Opposition Leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil demanding the resignation of CM Devendra Fadnavis on “moral grounds”.

All three accused were arrested on July 13. The crime has sparked protests in Karjat taluka in Ahmed-nagar district, where villagers took to streets demanding strict action.
