About the case:
The case is about a sequence of crimes of rape and sexual abuse, including more than 100 women. Journalist Santosh Gupta reported on the crime in April 1992 and busted many secrets revolving around the case.
In the report it was claimed that the people who were behind it had connections with the higher authorities, such as powerful, politically well-connected individuals, some of whom had ties with the Sufi Dargah in the town.
The report brought the major series of sexual abuse and blackmail to light, where many girls were sexually abused and blackmailed by the guilty. Mostly the women who were targeted were school or college-going girls. They were lured to a remote location and abused there by one or multiple men.
The widespread crime ended in 1992 when Gupta’s story highlighted the abuse in the public domain.
