Ahead of the Nirbhaya verdict in the Supreme Court on Monday, another brutal case of rape shook Maharashtra.
A class nine student was raped, her body mutilated. She was murdered in Khopardi village in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra. Flesh from all over her body, including her genitals, were torn and her teeth were found to be broken.
Three arrests have been made in the case, while one suspect is absconding.
The case has already assumed political colour after reports of the girl belonging to the dominant Maratha case and the accused being Dalits have done the rounds.

The Opposition used the incident to attack chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who, they said, as home minister failed to take cognizance of the incident.
One of the culprits was caught two days after the incident. Neither Fadnavis nor the minister of state for home or even the guardian minister has visited the victim’s family though it is three days since the incident.
