Haryana CM assures strongest possible action against those involved in Rewari gang-rape: Rajnath

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has assured that strongest possible action will be taken against those involved in the gang-rape of a young woman in Rewari, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday.

The 19-year-old woman from Rewari -- a recipient of the President's award for her academic achievements at school -- was allegedly abducted on her way to coaching classes, drugged and gangraped at a room adjoining a tubewell in an agricultural field last Wednesday.

Singh told reporters, "I have spoken to the Haryana Chief Minister who has assured that strongest possible action will be taken against the guilty."
