A Noida lower court remanded the five accused in 14-day judicial custody. The police have asked the court to allow fingerprinting of the accused as a local-made gun was also recovered from them and it is suspected that they might have raped the girl at gun-point.
Jumping into action, members of the National Commission for Women reached the Sector 39 police station, where the case was registered and also met the victim.
The women's panel is conducting its own investigations into the case and the members took stock of the police probe and collected details about the incident.
The case reverberated in the political space too with the Minister for Women and Child Development,u00a0 Renuka Chowdhury, taking the opportunity to target Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati.
"How did they think that they can do such a thing and get away? And when that question arises you start questioning the government. You have Nithari and Arushi cases, you have Noida rapes. It is sad if you can't solve the problem," she said. "None of them should get bail in this case. What kind of people we are that we cannot protect our daughters?" she asked.
