Muzaffarnagar: Twenty five persons accused of gang-rape during Muzaffarnagar riots have been booked under one more section which includes charges of gang-rape during communal or sectarian violence.

Investigation officer Mala Yadav has added section 376 (2) (g) (rape during communal or sectarian violence) of the IPC against 25 persons accused of six gang rape cases during last year's riots. The section was added after the Special Investigation Team, probing the riot cases, sought permission from the court here yesterday.
