However, what came as a shock to everybody was that the Mahapanchayat on Tuesday evening, ordered to burn alive the accused rapist as well as the victim.
According to the villagers, accused Robin aka Mansingh Kunkal used to work at his elder brother’s place. Robin stayed in the victim’s home for nearly two years.
