The group of seven, including a woman, alleged that they were abused and beaten by a mob of 10 people when they were returning from the Asola Wildlife Sanctuary on the evening of August 14. The female student alleged that she was threatened with rape.
When the students went to the Surajkund Police Station -- that falls in Haryana -- they were allegedly harassed by police personnel who refused to file their complaint. They questioned the woman's character and asked why she went with the male students.
"This reflects the environment of fear that is being created in the country. The goons openly threatened the girl and abused the boys. Now see the pathetic condition of Haryana Police that instead of helping victims, they behaved in the same way these goons were behaving," Pandey said.
A zero FIR (as the incident happened in a different jurisdiction) was registered in Vasant Kunj Police Station and a probe is on.
