Haryana CBSE topper gangrape incident: One main accused arrested
Chandigarh, Sept 16 (IBNS): One of the main accused persons in the gangrape of a former CBSE topper in Haryana's Rewari area was arrested by the police on Sunday.
The arrested person has been identified as Nishu Phogat.
The Special Investigation Team or SIT, which was formed to investigate the case, has arrested the person.
SIT chief Nazneen Bhasin told media that raids are being conducted to nab the other two accused persons.
Earlier in the day, two other people, a registered medical practitioner and a villager, were arrested in connection with the case.
The doctor was reportedly the first person who attended the woman.
"The doctor was there until the rape ended and didn't inform any authority points to the fact that he didn't take correct legal action. Evidence also points out that he was involved in the actual act as well. Further forensics will clear the matter," Bhasin was quoted as saying by NDTV.
The Haryana Police on Saturday released the photographs of three accused in the Rewari gang rape case of a CBSE school topper, media reports said.
The accused also includes an Army personnel.
The police has announced Rs 1 lakh reward for information on the accused.
The army soldier has been identified as Pankaj, posted in Rajasthan.
The other accused is Manish.
On Wednesday, a 19-year-old student, who had topped the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination, was allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped by a group of men in Haryana.
