A special investigation team on Monday began a probe into the ‘sexual assault’ on a West Bengal woman at Tikri by questioning Yogita, one of four co-accused in the case, for over two hours. Farmer leader Yogendra Yadav also joined the investigation in Bahadurgarh on getting an appearance notice.

Sources said the SIT questioned Yadav, asking him when was he contacted by the victim’s father and when did he learn about the incident. He was also asked why he and other SKM leaders did not inform the police about the matter. Yadav was told to divulge names of other farm leaders who were aware of the incident.

“I have given all information, whatever I know about the case, to the police. I have also consented to become a witness,” said Yadav.
