A 22-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, police informed on Saturday. Two people have been detained in connection with the case.
The brutal incident took place on Friday evening. Two persons known to the woman picked her up in a car from the Bangiriposi area on the pretext of discussing a lucrative job, the police said.
A complaint in this regard has been lodged by the woman, police added.
She was then taken to a place under the Udala police station area, about 80 km from her house in Bangirposi.
Later, three others joined them in the car, who took her to a secluded place on a stretch connecting Udala and Balasore town. The five people then allegedly raped the woman, said SDPO (Udala) Hrushikesh Nayak, while speaking to reporters.
After gang-raping her, they dumped the woman on the road, according to the police complaint filed by the woman.
Nayak informed that a case in this regard has been registered at Udala police station based on her statement. “An investigation is underway. The police have so far detained two persons and search is on for three others,” Nayak added.
