The Rewari gang-rape victim was once again hospitalised after police took her to the spot of the incident to relive it, news agency ANI reported Saturday.

Quoting senior medical officer AK Saini, the report said that after her release she was taken to the crime spot, following which she fell ill. Currently, she is fine.

The 19-year-old woman was abducted at a bus stop in Kanina town in neighbouring Mahendragarh district on Wednesday while she was on the way to a coaching class. She was then allegedly drugged and gangraped at a secluded spot. The woman was recovered from a room housing a tubewell for irrigation.

The Superintendent of Police (SP) of Haryana's Rewari district, who has been accused of failing to take prompt action in the gangrape of a young woman, has been shunted out by the Haryana government. 

Rewari SP Rajesh Duggal will be replaced by the SP of chief minister's security, Rahul Sharma. Duggal will now lead a battalion of Haryana Armed Police in Hisar.

The victim's family had alleged that police had failed to take prompt action on their complaint and delayed action by citing jurisdiction issue between police units of Rewari and Mahendergarh districts.

The woman was abducted at a bus stop in Kanina town in neighbouring Mahendragarh district on Wednesday while she was on the way to a coaching class, police said.

She was then allegedly drugged and gangraped at a secluded spot. The woman was recovered from a room housing a tubewell for irrigation.

Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar reviewed with DGP B S Sandhu the progress in investigation into the gangrape of the 19-year-old woman as raids continued at several places on Sunday to nab the three accused, including an Army man.

Khattar, who had a scheduled event in Jalandhar in Punjab, cut short his visit and reached Chandigarh in the afternoon, official sources said.

The sources said that Khattar summoned the Director General of Police (DGP) to his office to review the progress in the investigation. The chief minister directed Sandhu to ensure arrest of all the accused at the earliest, the sources said.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that the police have been directed to take strict action. “The other two accused in the case will be arrested soon. I appeal to the public to not harbour them; strict action will be taken against those who do,” he said.

As pressure built on it to act swiftly, the police arrested a registered medical practitioner, who first attended to the woman, and a villager on whose property she was found.

The owner of the property, Deendayal, who was among the two people arrested, told police that the three key accused had taken keys to the room from him on the day of the incident.

The police claimed Deendayal knew about the crime, but did not report it.

Police continued raids in Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi and some other states to nab the three key accused, a senior official, who is part of the investigation, said Sunday.
