In a tragic turn of events, two sisters in Jodhpur have died by suicide following repeated rape allegations and purported police inaction. Arrests have been made, but public outrage persists over the delayed response from authorities.

The younger sister consumed pesticide after climbing a village water tank on May 15, asserting she and her elder sibling had suffered years of sexual abuse.

Amid escalating public criticism, the investigation has been escalated to an Additional Superintendent of Police-level officer. Meanwhile, Bawdi outpost in-charge Dharmendra faces scrutiny as inquiries continue.
