Woman Allegedly Raped Inside Jharkhand Police Station; Multiple Officers Suspended and Arrested

Fifteen police personnel, including the station officer, were suspended for dereliction of duty. Former Chief Minister Champai Soren condemned the incident as a 'repulsive image of jungle raj' and demanded strict action against the accused and negligent officials.
