Police Suspect Gang-rape

Local police found bones, a silver anklet and shoes in the still-burning remains. Police suspect that the girl was gang-raped before she was killed. Police have taken three local men, who were caught at the spot, to the custody and are being questioned.

Soon after the incident was reported, hundreds of villagers gathered at the spot and staged demonstration, demanding justice for the victim and quick arrest of the accused. The villagers alleged that the police responded belatedly to their complaint about the girl going missing yesterday and asked for her ID and a birth certificate.

BJP Slams Congress For Crimes in State

Politics in the state escalated soon after the incident was reported and BJP leaders, including a former minister, arrived at the spot and joined in the protests.

The BJP slammed the ruling party in the state and questioned the effectiveness of their administration in ensuring public safety. The BJP also expressed deep concerns over the prevailing law and order situation that allowed such a heinous crime to occur.

Taking to Twitter, BJP youth leader Vikram Goud said, “Tragic! In Rajsthan a minor girl was brutally raped & thrown in a coal furnace. Locals recovered her burnt body. Women’s safety in Rajsthan under Congress rule has become a joke.”

Notably, the BJP has been targeting the state’s ruling Congress and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over recent crimes against women in the state.
