PTI | 01:02 AM,Feb 22,2012Indore, Feb 21 (PTI) Accusing to police of adopting a casual approach in the case related to the gangrape of two women here, the Madhya Pradesh Congress' women wing today urged the NCW to intervene and ensure justice to the victims. "I have written to the chairperson of National Commission for Women Mamta Sharma to take cognisance of the case and ensure that the victims get justice," Archana Jaiswal, who heads the women wing, said. She alleged that a video clipping of the crime was made on a mobile phone which was distributed. "But the police took no action and remained a mute spectator till the victims themselves walked to the police station." According to police, the two women were gangraped by 18 persons in Betma area on February 10 and a case was registered on the women's complaint on February 18. They said 15 people have been arrested in the case, including Vikas Bharti, the son of a BJP counsellor Rajni Bharti and grandson of a Congress councillor Dilip Kushwah. The BJP has expelled Rajni from the party.
