Special Correspondent

LUCKNOW: The station in charge of the Kamalganj police station in Uttar Pradesh has been placed under suspension for his failure to prevent the rape of a Dalit woman by three youths late on Sunday night.

Neeraj Lodhi and Anuj have been arrested and the police are on the lookout for the other.
