Muzzaffarnagar, October 8

IN YET another strange rape verdict, a village panchayat in Muzaffarnagar has not onoly condoned the alleged rape by a young man of an influential family, but also pleaded that to safeguard the reputation of the village and family's honour to which the young man belongs, the matter should be declared closed. The ruling came after the father of thee accused publicly apologised before the Pancyayat regretting his son's conduct.

The youth allegedly raped the teenaged daughter of a factory watchman of Kakrauli village and fled.
