Rourkela,Jan.07 : A girl student of a private engineering college in Odisha’s Rourkela city was allegedly gang-raped in Jharkhand.
The victim is currently undergoing treatment at the Rourkela Government Hospital. The Government Railway Police (GRP) has started investigation into the incident after registering a case.
However, the girl soon realised that she was deceived by the youth as the train was not heading towards Jharsuguda, rather travelling in a different route.
The youth advised her to alight from the train at the Lotapahar railway station in Jharkhand and take a bus to reach Jharsuguda. However, he took her to a house after both reached the station.
Later, five friends of the youth arrived at the house and allegedly gang-raped the girl for two days. They released her on January 1, following which she lodged a police complaint in this regard. Investigation into the matter is underway.
