    As per the prosecution the accused took the woman in a isolated place with motive to commit the heinous crime.
     
    The court Jan 13 framed charges of rape and causing grievous bodily harm and endangering the life of a woman, kidnapping a woman, criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt against Yadav under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
