Two BJP leaders held for gangrape
Statesman News Service DEHRADUN, June 23: Following the arrests of two local BJP leaders today, other links to the state secretariat are being speculated in connection with the gang rape case, which has rocked the capital. The chief minister has also issued stern orders to the SSP Dehradun to speed up the investigation process and book the culprits irrespective of their post and status. Nineteen-year-old Kavita (name changed) was reportedly raped by people working in the Uttarakhand secretariat in connivance with her cousin. Kavita, who was working for an NGO, was taken to the secretariat by her cousin who had promised her a job there. She was then driven by car to a resort where she was raped by five people, two of whom were introduced to her as officers. The hapless girl was threatened not to tell police and then abandoned. Kavita stayed silent about the incident for almost two months but finally she and her family members decided to report the matter to the police. This disclosure shocked the capital and the police immediately started investigations. After the arrest of the two BJP leaders, some officers and employees of the secretariat are suspected as the police is still on the lookout for the driver of the car and two other men charged with rape. SSP Amit Sinha said he was not ready to divulge any information in this regard but that the case would be worked out soon. The IG Garhwal Ashok Kumar said the police is working on different lines and did not rule out the possibility of political rivalry.Using this opportunity, the Congress has also taken to the streets on this issue.
