Police here have registered a case against four men for allegedly raping a Dalit woman over nine days after holding her captive while a man alleged that he was thrashed by some people for helping the victim file a complaint. The woman, in her police complaint, alleged that she remained unconscious for most of the time as the accused, including a police constable, injected her with sedatives.
