Pune: A 21-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three unknown men in the Bopdev Ghat area in Pune on Thursday night, as per reports by the Kondwa police.
As per the police, the girl had gone to the ghat with her friend, where she was allegedly raped by three unknown accused at around 11 pm.
However, the incident was reported to police at around 5 am on Friday. The search for the accused is still underway and ten teams of the Crime Branch and Detective Branch were formed for the search and arrest of the accused, as per Pune Joint Commissioner of Police Ranjan Kumar Sharma.
Following the incident, NCP-SCP working president Supriya Sule said that it was a very infuriating incident and questioned the safety of women in Pune and across the state.
She further criticised the state home department for not taking any action to stop such incidents.
"Very infuriating! What is going on in Pune? The incident of gang rape of a girl in Bopdev Ghat has come to light. Incidents of violence against women are continuously increasing in Pune and across the state. The home department does not seem to be doing anything to stop these incidents. Unfortunately, it has to be said that Maharashtra is not safe for women. The government should arrest the accused in the said incident and take strict action against them," Sule said in a post in X.
NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar said that there is a lot of anger among people dues to increasing atrocities on women.
"The government started the Ladki Behan Yojana to help women. Women are benefiting from this. On one hand, there is the Ladki Behan Yojana and on the other hand, there are atrocities on women. On one hand, there is an attempt to provide financial assistance to women through the Ladki Behan Yojana and on the other hand, there is a lot of anger among the people due to the increasing atrocities on women," Pawar said.
