As reported by the Organiser, the victim informed the cops that Ruhab assisted her with college admission and that they used to communicate frequently over calls. Recently, Ruhab Meman brought the girl in his car to Singar Bhat forest under the pretext of strolling around and drove the car to a secluded place. He stopped over and raped the woman. He warned her not to tell anybody about the assault, but the girl stood up for herself and went to the police station.
According to Shalabh Sinha, SP Kanker, a complaint was lodged at the police station, and the culprit was arrested soon after an FIR was filed following the complaint. The accused was then brought before the court and put on judicial remand.
“An offence under Section 376, 506 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered against the accused, which mounts for criminal charges of rape, criminal intimidation and voluntary causing hurt. The accused after committing the heinous assault on the victim also physically assaulted her and threatened her of facing dire consequences if she reported it to anyone,” Kanker Kotwali Station House Officer (SHO) Sharad Dubey told reporters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has targeted the Congress party, saying that such crimes are committed in Chhattisgarh where the Congress party is in power. Notably, NSUI is the student wing of the Congress party.

Ruhab has been made co-in-charge for the by-election. The girl is Hindu, belongs to tribal society. Will Rahul and Priyanka go to Chhattisgarh for this?”
