An engineer was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by ten unidentified individuals on Thursday night in the West Singhbhum police station in Jharkhand’s Mufassil police station.
The victim, who was in her twenties, was riding a scooter with a friend to the airport area when they were overcome by the accused. After beating her friend, they led her to a nearby abandoned location where they gang-raped her.
A special investigative team (SIT) has been established to apprehend the suspects, according to West Singhbhum Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Shekhar.
“The situation falls under the purview of Mufassil police station. The family of the friend who was with the survivor and was able to flee called the police. An SIT has been created, and Sadar sub divisional police officer is leading it. We are pursuing some leads that we have. A few others have also been interrogated,” added Shekhar. The survivor, a Jhinkpani-area resident of the district, apparently works from home and resides in a rented flat in Chaibasa, the district’s administrative centre
