After two hours, he dropped her at the same spot from where she was picked up. A medical checkup was conducted and a case registered. Several teams are working to nab the offender," said Jaipur Police Commissioner Anand Srivastava.The incident created much anger in the area as some people tried to give the matter a communal colour. A mob gathered outside a police station and pelted stones at the cops. The Police has arrested 16 people in connection with this."Some people had gathered in the area to protest. When the police tried to disperse the crowd, they started pelting stones. Some vehicles were damaged and a few police officers were also injured.
