However, 12 members of both the families had subsequently approved in a joint meeting that the victim’s brother would ‘rape the suspect’s sister for reconciliation’.

On March 21, victim’s brother committed the “revenge rape”.

According to the media outlet, the sub-inspector said that both the parties had decided on a stamp paper that no party will take legal action against each other.
