Rampur (Uttar Pradesh), Nov 10 (TIWN) As a video clip of a rape victim, threatening to immolate herself at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's rally went viral, the local police swung into action.

The victim had been making futile attempts to get her complaint lodged since the past seven months, she has alleged.  According to reports, the woman -- who is a health worker -- alleged that a UP Police officer and his friend had barged into the private hospital where she worked on April 5 this year, and gang-raped her over a property dispute.  She named Inspector Ramvir Singh Yadav and his friend Vinod Singh Yadav as the accused. 

Superintendent of Police (Rampur) Ankit Mittal said, "Taking note of the viral video, the woman was called to give her statement. She has charged an inspector at Ganj Kotwali police station and his friend with gang-rape and physical assault. Based on her complaint, an FIR has been registered against Inspector Ramvir Singh Yadav, Vinod Singh Yadav, Manoj and Vijay under various sections of the IPC."  The two cops were suspended later on Tuesday evening.
