Mumbai/Sangli: After the Maratha reservation protest, Maharashtra again has been talk of the town as women's panel on Thursday took a serious note amid widespread criticism and sought a report from police following gang-rape of an eight-month pregnant woman from Satara by eight men in Sangli.

The crime took place around 6 a.m. on Tuesday when the 20-year-old victim woman, along with her husband, had gone to Turchi Phata in Tasgaon.

An executive of Tasgaon police station told the news agency IANS that both were seeking to hire a couple for their hotel business.

One of the accused of this crime, Mukund Mane, had earlier called the victim hotelier husband to Turchi Phata, claiming a couple was all set to work for them and asked him to bring Rs 20,000 as advance payment.

When the couple arrived the spot, Mane and his co-conspirator attacked suddenly on the hotelier couple, assaulted them with pipes and sticks, and robbed them of cash and woman's gold stuff.

After that they tied the husband, restrained and locked him inside his vehicle and allegedly gang-raped the woman even as she begged with them to allow to go as she is pregnant.

The attackers also threatened the couple against informing police, asserting that they are very influential and nobody will pay attention to the couple.

After that the couple registered a complaint at Tasgaon police station naming four prime accused as Mane, Sagar, Javed Khan and Vinod in the FIR.
