    Police has become mad. All charges are baseless and motivated by either politics or wrong media reports.

    For kind of information to Minded people only charge sheet does not mean the person has committed that crime Rape has not confirmed even in medical report even then they writ about it. This case is fabricated and congress Government can do anything to malign the image of person who supports BJP.and for others just listen to these type of news and dance like anything.
