Haryana DGP BS Sandhu said on Saturday that one of the accused is an Armyman posted in Rajasthan.
The Indian Army on Saturday said it will facilitate the arrest of the army personnel, one of the three accused in the alleged gangrape of a 19-year-old woman in Rewari, saying that the force does not shelter criminals.
Haryana DGP BS Sandhu said on Saturday that one of the accused is an Armyman posted in Rajasthan and a police team has been sent to arrest him.
Lt Gen Cherish Mathson, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC) South Western Command, which is headquartered in Jaipur, said, "If an army personnel is involved in the crime we will facilitate that the person is caught and booked for rape. We do not shelter criminals."
The accused has been identified as Pankaj. The Haryana police released pictures of the three accused on Saturday.
Other two accused have been identified as Nishu and Manish.
The trio allegedly abducted the woman from a bus stop and raped her in Haryana's Mahendargarh district on Wednesday.
"Out of the three accused, one is an Army man and a police team has gone to Rajasthan to arrest him. I am sure that he will be arrested today," he said.
The hunt for the other two accused is also on, he added, expressing confidence that they will land in police net soon.
Sandhu said all the three accused were known to the victim.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up to probe the case.
According to the complaint, the woman was allegedly kidnapped by the accused who arrived in a car and was taken to a secluded place where she was raped after being offered a drink laced with sedatives.
The accused left her near a bus stop in Kanina later in the day.
Her mother has accused the police of failing to take action in the case.
She said on Friday that her daughter was in a state of shock after the incident, while the accused were "roaming freely" after the incident.
