The accused perpetrators, identified as Manish and Satish, both residents of Jhind district, are now under investigation following the victim`s complaint.
Reported by The Hindustan Times, the victim, who had been in custody, was being transported to PGIMS Hospital in Rohtak for medical treatment, accompanied by two other male inmates. The unfortunate incident occurred during their return journey from the hospital.
