Three truck drivers on Saturday claimed they witnessed women being dragged and molested by Jat agitators in Murthal, even as a team of women police officers on Saturday visited the site of alleged gangrapes but said no eyewitness or victim had turned up before it.
Speaking to mediapersons, the three men Sukhwinder Singh, Niranjan and Naresh Kumar claimed the agitators torched their trucks in Murthal and assaulted them following which they hid in the bushes to save themselves. They said they saw attackers “dragging women out of vehicles, tearing their clothes and molesting them” before taking them towards the fields.
The development came on a day the women police officers team led by DIG Dr Rajshree Singh visited the site at village Hassanpur near Murthal in Sonipat district to gather first hand information about the alleged incident.
She maintained no victim or eye witness had come forward to provide details. Asked about recovery of some clothes belonging to women, she told reporters, “These had been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory for examination”.
“Let us see, what comes out,” she told reporters Dr Rajshree said this evening, “Two truck drivers — one each from Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir — have contacted us.” “But both have denied seen any such thing (alleged rape of women stuck on the national highway near Murthal),” the DIG said.
