A day after the incident, police arrested suspects Pramod Sahni and Kamal Sahni. “They kidnapped her and raped her. When she shouted they put a knife to her throat,” NDTV quoted the girl’s brother as saying. He alleged that the family is being pressured to withdraw the case. The girl is in a critical state at Patna Medical College Hospital. In another part of the district, a girl was allegedly gangraped at gunpoint, reported DNA. According to ANI, the girl was going to defecate in the field when one of the accused molested her and recorded a video of it. She complained to the police about it and that angered the accused so much that he and four men from his family, returned and gangraped her. They then left her on the side of a road, assuming that she was dead. But the girl regained consciousness and got the attention of cops patrolling nearby. She was admitted to Motihari Sadar Hospital in a critical condition. The accused are absconding.
