Police seek 3-day custody of three accused in a gangrape case

Police have sought a three-day custody of three shopkeepers for allegedly circulating a video filmed by two persons who had allegedly raped a 32-year-old woman two years ago, an official said.
Police filed an application seeking the custody remand of three shopkeepers-- Sandeep, Ashok and Sanjay, yesterday. Chief Judicial Magistrate Sunder Lal will hear the application tomorrow.
The three shopkeepers were booked last week for allegedly circulating the video on social media in Kailawada village and police had also seized a computer, memory card and other accessories during a search operation in this connection, the official said.
A married woman was allegedly raped by two men two years ago. The accused had allegedly also filmed the entire incident and circulated the clip on the social media and blackmailed her since then.

The accused, Irshad and Nazer, were arrested at Kailwada village near here on January 17.
This is the second such case in Muzaffarnagar district. A 40-year-old married health worker had allegedly committed suicide on January 13 after the video of her gangrape was uploaded on social media.
