Ex-ABVP candidate among 4 accused of raping minor at Uttarakhand hotel

Ex-ABVP candidate among 4 accused of raping minor at Uttarakhand hotel

In a troubling incident in Uttarakhand's Haldwani, a minor girl was reportedly gang-raped at a hotel, prompting arrests of four men, including an ex-ABVP candidate. The accused are Dheeraj Bisht, Nitin Pal, Ansh Khatri, and Himanshu Gouni. Haldwani police found the hotel provided a room without verifying the identities of the occupants, and they are initiating action against the hotel management.

The ABVP condemned the incident and demanded strict legal action, clarifying that Dheeraj Bisht, though a candidate in the MBPG College student union election, currently holds no position or responsibility within the organization. The Congress's student wing NSUI announced a protest, demanding an impartial investigation.
