Theme-based polling stations woo voters in Maharashtra
The Nagpur district administration hopes that the voters will get a new experience with this unique concept, which will also help increase the voter turnout.
The 19-year-old girl who was gangraped by four of her friends after she had celebrated her birthday party in a Mumbai suburb in July, died at a government hospital in Aurangabad on Wednesday.
The victim died late Wednesday at a hospital due to multiple internal injuries.
Taking a strong note of the incident, the Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) has ordered the Chunabhatti Police Station to submit its detailed investigation report by Saturday, register a rape-cum-murder case and extend financial assistance to the victim’s family as per laws.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will take out a procession from Chembur to Chunabhatti Police Station on Friday afternoon, to protest against the incident and the growing atrocities on women in the state.

It was on July 7, when the victim had come to Mumbai and her four male friends insisted on celebrating her birthday at the home of one of them.
That evening, after cutting the birthday cake, the four friends allegedly gang-raped her, and the victim, in deep shock and trauma, quietly returned home the next day without informing the Mumbai police or her family.
However, it was only in the third week of July when she complained of severe pain in her private parts that she was taken to the hospital where the matter ultimately came to light. The girl’s father had filed a complaint with the Aurangabad police on July 26. The case was then transferred to Mumbai Police. “We have registered a rape case based on the father’s statement. A medical board of three doctors has looked into the case. Dedicated officers are investigating the case and we will get to the truth of the matter,” said an officer.
The Mumbai police has made no arrests in the case so far.
