SC refuses to stay arrest of rape-accused Gayatri Prajapati

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay arrest of rape-accused Gayatri Prajapati who is allegedly absconding in the case.  

The Apex Court said that it would not intervene into the probe and asked Prajapati’s lawyers to approach concerned court for the same.
