Maharashtra minister of State for Home Yogesh Kadam on Thursday accused the private security guards at the Swargate MSRTC bus depot in connection with the rape of a 26-year-old woman a couple of days ago but asserted that the accused had been identified and would be held soon, PTI reported.

The woman was allegedly raped by history-sheeter Dattatray Ramdas Gade (37) in early morning on Tuesday inside a ST bus. Thirteen police teams have been formed to track down Gade.
