Hindustan TimesA 25-year-old woman was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by two persons on Saturday night in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara district, police said, adding the accused have been arrested. Two persons, identified as Chhotu Sargada and Giridhari Gadri were arrested in connection with the case, said Gangapur deputy superintendent of police Labhu Ram Bishnoi, adding the accused are known to the woman. “Following their conversation, the woman met Chhotu along with Giridhari near a local temple from where both forcibly made her sit on their two-wheeler and took her to a warehouse near Jampura, around eight kilometres away from her house,” DSP Bishnoi said. Meanwhile, the incident sparked a political salvo as the Bharatiya Janata Party MP Rajendra Rathore, took to X and wrote, “The incident that took place within the 100 feet of the local DSP office in Bhilwara’s Gangapur is another scandal for Rajasthan.” Referring to the gangrape of another 14-year-old minor in Bhilwara on August 2, Rathore slammed chief minister Ashok Gehlot.
