It may be noted that the day before, Chirang Police arrested three people in connection with an alleged gang rape case at Bengtol.

This came after the Bengtol Police Outpost OC had been suspended for siding with the accused in the matter.

The police arrested Gulzar Hussain, Pabitra Rai and Ganesh Rai in the alleged sexual assault and abuse of a woman. As per reports, a total of seven people were accused by the victim.

While three of the accused were arrested, four others remained absconding, police said.

Reports stated that a woman, who claimed to have been the victim of sexual assault and abuse, reached the police outpost to file a complaint.

However, instead of investigating her complaints, the Bengtol OC reportedly mocked her and sided with the accused that were named by the victim.

The cop in question was identified as sub-inspector (SI) Afzal Hussain. After the victim was turned away by the police yesterday, she went to the media at first and then courted the Chirang superintendent of police (SP) Pranjit Bora.
