Days after allegations of rape and molestation by Jat quota agitators near Haryana's Murthal, a woman on Sunday registered a case of gangrape against seven people, including her brother-in-law, in connection with the incident.

"An FIR has been lodged against seven persons in connection with a gangrape on the basis of a complaint filed by a Narela-based woman," said Haryana Police, DIG, Rajshree Singh while talking to the mediapersons.

She said the victim had alleged she was raped on the intervening night of February 22-23 and the perpetrators included her brother-in-law. The complainant said she knew all of them.

The officer said the victim was not sure about the exact scene of the crime but claimed she was raped in a building near Murthal when she was on way to Narela in Delhi from Haridwar on a van.

The woman, however, said her 15-year-old daughter who was accompanying her, was not raped but her clothes were torn.

The DIG said the woman had called her up on Saturday and her statement was recorded a day later.

Singh said most of the complaints she was receiving were from men who claimed their vehicles had been damaged by the agitators.

Earlier, some locals, including truck drivers, had claimed they had seen women being dragged to the fields by the protesters. TV channels showed footage of garments worn by women strewn in some places.

Some village heads had, however, trashed their claims and described it as an attempt to defame the people of the area.

Earlier in the day, three truck drivers had denied having witnessed any incident of sexual assault or rape.

"Three truck drivers have denied that they had seen molestation or rape of women (at Murthal)," said Rajshree Singh.

Truck drivers Sukhwinder, Abdul Wahid and Yadwinder have, however, said that their trucks were burnt by agitators.

A team of three women police officers --DIG Rajshree Singh, DSPs Bharti Dabas and Surinder Kaur was formed by Haryana Government to gather information concerning the alleged incident of sexual assault on some women near Murthal on the intervening night of February 22 and 23.

DIG said instructions have been issued that as and when any complainant comes forward an FIR must be registered.

A day before, women police officers had visited the site at village Hassanpur near Murthal in Sonipat district on Delhi-Ambala National Highway to gather first hand information about the alleged incident.

Meanwhile, Sonepat SP Abhishek Garg said three witnesses to the incident as reported by a section of media were also "verified at various levels" and they had said that no incident of sexual assault or rape took place at Murthal, over 50 km from Delhi.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal Khattar had on Saturday asked people to share information, if they have any, with the state police regarding the alleged incident.

Meanwhile, Congress on Sunday criticised the Manohar lal Khattar-led Haryana Government over the gangrapes in Murthal and accused them of attempting to cover up the unfortunate and shameful incident.

“It is shameful and condemnable that eyewitnesses are coming in the media and giving evidences whereas the Haryana Government and the state police are not able to find any evidence. Both the State Government and the police are trying to get rid of these shameful incidents. But, because of court’s interference, the eyewitnesses are coming in the media and sharing the details,” alleged Congress leader Shobha Oza.
