Mewat, August 26

The quaint village of Dingerheri is yet to recover from yesterday’s shock wherein a couple was killed and two women of the family were gang-raped by robbers.

The sleepy lanes of this village are abuzz with police vehicles, media vans and politicians’ visits.

Rewari Range IG Mamta Singh, said, “We are on the job and have issued the sketches of four accused.”

She said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) had been formed and raiding parties were on the look for the accused. Her words, however, failed to comfort the head of the family busy preparing for the last rites of his cousin and his wife.

“All that flashes in front of my eyes are the horrifying wails of women being violated and the cries of my dying brother and his wife,” he said.

Women sat huddled inside the house, including the two victims. “They are in shock. They were violated as their parents and uncles looked on helplessly. The teen is scared. It’s saddening, but death would have been better. Please leave them alone,” says the house owner’s daughter, also the key complainant in the case.

Meanwhile, the politicians made a beeline expressing condolences. Senior Congress leaders, including Captain Ajay Yadav and Aftab Ahmed have sought an explanation from CM Manohar Lal Khattar on the failing law and order situation in the state.
