They are still roaming about freely and threatening to kill me.”Fed up of being terrorized by the two men and police apathy, she went to the DM’s office and gave a written complaint against both accused and Bithri Chainpur police. “If police fail to arrest the accused, then I will sit on a dharna on Saturday outside the DM’s office,” she said.Bithri Chainpur police station house officer Govind Singh said, “We have been conducting raids to nab the two but they are absconding.
