Taking advantage, the student leader raped her. After she regained consciousness, he threatened her with dire consequences if she approached the police. However, the girl chose to lodge a complaint.

The AISA leader had offered the girl student a spiked drink, due to which she fell unconscious. Taking advantage, the student leader raped her. After she regained consciousness, he threatened her with dire consequences if she approached the police.

Ratan, who is on the run has applied for an anticipatory bail. He alleged that he was being framed due to political rivalry with the girl’s political outfit. He also said he was being framed in view of the upcoming JNU elections.
