Hey there, Pune peeps! Here’s the latest scoop on the 26-year-old woman who was allegedly raped in a locked Shivshahi bus at Swargate Bus Stand.
So, get this – the brave victim met up with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Shiv Sena leader, Neelam Gorhe, in Mumbai. She didn’t hold back and demanded strict punishment for the accused, Dattatray Gade. And guess what? Gade has been shipped off to Yerawada Central Jail after his stint in police custody.
During the powwow, Shinde made sure to reassure the victim that justice will be served. Gorhe also had a chat with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, pushing for some serious action. Both leaders made it clear that they’ve got the victim’s back and are all in on helping her seek justice and safety.
Now, let’s rewind to the crime that went down on 25th February. The accused allegedly did the deed inside a parked Shivshahi bus, sparking some major public outcry about the lack of security at Swargate Bus Stand. State Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik wasn’t having any of it and ordered a security check at the bus stand. Turns out, there were quite a few safety lapses uncovered.
Over in the Pune Crime Branch, they’re still twiddling their thumbs waiting on the DNA test report. Additional Police Commissioner Shailesh Balkawade spilled the beans that once they get their hands on that report, a chargesheet is going out ASAP.
The cops have been working overtime, checking out CCTV footage, medical reports from Sassoon Hospital, and forensic evidence from the bus. They had their sights set on filing that chargesheet within 15 days, but the delay in getting the DNA test report has put a wrench in their plans.
Here’s the kicker – Gade was spotted at Swargate Bus Stand, Ahilyanagar, and Shirur before and after the crime. The only problem? They can’t seem to find his phone, which could hold some crucial evidence. Something smells fishy, and the authorities suspect there’s some shady business going on with the phone’s whereabouts.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, folks!
