Haryana gang rapist identified – family rejects Rs 2 lakh help – want justice

Three accused for Haryana gang rape have  been identified by police as Pankaj, an Army jawan, Manish and Nishu. Police had released their photographs. The accused live in the same village in Rewari

Haryana police has announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh for information leading to the arrest of the accused, and has set up a special investigation team headed by Nuh SP, Naazneen Bhasin.

Family was given a cheque of Rs 2 lakh from  Haryana Victim Compensation Scheme, 2013, but they decided to return it.

"We do not want this cheque. Is this the price which is being put for honour of my daughter. All we want is justice. We used to hear about long arm of the law, but what is police doing. The accused are yet to be arrested," mother of the victim has said. "The accused should be hanged,", she said.

The victim's father said that his daughter could identify only three men, but there could have been 8 to 10 rapists.

According to PTI, “The case evoked sharp reaction from opposition parties who have demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on moral grounds, saying the state had failed to protect its daughters.”
