Bhopal gang-rape: 3 policemen suspended for calling it 'filmy story', CM directs fast-track trial

Taking cognizance into the gang-rape of a 19-year-old civil services aspirant, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday directed a fast-track trial into the case.

A 19-year-old woman was allegedly abducted and raped by four men near railway tracks here on Tuesday night when she was returning home after attending a coaching class.

The complaint of the girl was dismissed as a "filmy story" by a sub-inspector, the survivor's mother said on Friday.

The girl's parents - her father is with para-military and mother with the state CID - said their complaint was initially turned down by the police.

A complaint was only filed after the girl spotted two of the accused outside the second police station they were going to and her parents managed to grab them after a dramatic scuffle.

The incident occurred around 10 P.M on Tuesday in the vicinity of the Habibganj railway station when the four men abducted the woman while she was returning home after attending a coaching class in Maharana Pratap Nagar, a Government Railway Police (GRP) officer said.

On the basis of the complaint lodged by the woman, a case was registered at the GRP Police Station (Habibganj Railway Station) as the area where the crime occurred falls under their jurisdiction.

The accused are identified as Golu Bihari, Amar Chhantu, Rajesh, and Ramesh.

"They have been booked under sections 376 D (gang rape) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention)," the officer said, adding that further investigation is on.
