Two Tribal Leaders Arrested for Alleged Rape and Forced Abortion in Chhattisgarh
In Chhattisgarh's Korea district, two tribal leaders, Daroga Singh and Ramesh Tekam, were arrested for allegedly raping a 25-year-old pregnant woman and a 17-year-old minor. Both women were reportedly separated from their partners by their families due to caste differences and handed over to the accused. The 25-year-old was allegedly gangraped and forced to consume abortion pills. The minor, who had eloped with a man arrested under POCSO, also reported rape. The accused were arrested on July 19 and face multiple charges including gang rape and forcible abortion.
