RAJKOT: Police officials have not made any arrests six days after a

case. The two have also been booked under the Prevention of Atrocities
Act. The woman had filed the complaint on Tuesday. The Schedule Caste

She told the police she had come to Kuvadava to catch a bus or jeep to
Rajkot to meet her brothers. While she was waiting for a vehicle, Koli
came in a car and gave her a lift. But when they reached Rajkot, Koli
did not take her to her brother's home. Instead he took her to a
rented a house and raped her. Later, he promised to marry her and took
her to Kolkata where Koli's wife Savita lived.
Some days later, Koli, his wife and the victim came back to Rajkot and
rented a house on Morvi Road. Here, Koli raped her again after which
he forced her into prostitution and started bringing customers. Koli
even threatened to kill her if she did not agree to her demands.

of the girls in the neighbourhood. The girl called up the brothers who
came and rescued her.
