Police have arrested Ram Kumar Bindal, elder brother of Himachal Pradesh BJP President Dr. Rajeev Bindal, in a sexual assault case. The action was taken based on a complaint filed by a 25-year-old woman at the women’s police station.
Solan SP Gaurav Singh stated that according to the complaint filed at the women’s police station, the victim had been suffering from an illness for a considerable time. Despite trying scientific medical treatment without improvement, she visited a practitioner near the old bus stand in Solan on October 7 for Vedic treatment of her ailment.
The complainant stated that a person was seated at the location who asked her where she was from. After inquiring about her address, he seated her for examination. The accused then held her hand and began pressing her pulse points. Subsequently, he began asking about sexual health issues. She explained her illness to him completely, and he assured her of a 100% cure. During the examination, the accused allegedly committed misconduct with her.
The victim’s statement has been recorded in court. During investigation of the case, the crime scene was inspected with assistance from the SFSL Junga team. Evidence was collected from the scene with the team’s help and taken into police custody. Additionally, other technical evidence collected during the site inspection has been analyzed during the investigation.
