The Supreme Court today agreed to urgently hear the plea of an MBA student, who was allegedly raped by seniors in a private university in Haryana, that her case be handed over to CBI as state police was allegedly trying to protect the accused.
A vacation bench of justices A K Sikri and U U Lalit allowed urgent hearing of the plea on May 25 when senior advocate Indira Jaising mentioned it and alleged that police have not seized any material.
The 21-year-old victim, a student of Hissar-based Jindal Global University, has alleged that she was blackmailed by seniors who took her nude photographs and forced to her to get into physical relationship with them.
The plea further said she was repeatedly raped on the campus and outside by three seniors who had threatened to circulate the pictures in public.
Jaising said the police were destroying electronic evidence like laptops and mobile phones through which photographs were shared by the accused with other students.
