Barely eight hours after the Haryana police cracked and arrested eight youths from Gaddhi Kheri village (some 9 km from Rohtak) for their alleged involvement in the Nepalese woman rape and murder case, the ninth accused committed suicide in Delhi on Monday.
Late on Monday evening, accused Sombir Kumar (22), who used to work at a factory in the village, committed suicide by consuming Celphos tablet.
Kumar was hiding at his relative's place in Bawana area in Delhi to avoid arrest.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference, Haryana Agriculture Minister Om Parkash Dhankar on Monday announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs 5 Lakh to the kin of the slain victim. Dhankar also promised them to fast-track the case.
In a grim reminder of the December 16 gang-rape in Delhi, a 28-year-old mentally-challenged woman from Nepal was brutally raped and murdered and her body dumped in a field at a village on the Rohtak-Hisar Highway.
The woman had been brutally assaulted as the post-mortem report mentions several injuries on her private parts. Stones and blades were found in her stomach.
The victim had been residing with her sister for the past three months and was undergoing treatment at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak.
The victim's sister had lodged a complaint with police on February 1 and on February 4 the woman's body was found from the fields in Akbarpur village with several injury marks on it, Rohtak Superintendent of Police Shashank Anand had said.
