A 20-year-old college student was allegedly gang-raped by a group of 10 men on a beach in Odisha’s Ganjam district around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. The attackers reportedly assaulted and dragged away her male companion before taking turns sexually assaulting her
Seven of the suspects were detained Monday based on a complaint filed by the survivor.
“We are raiding various locations to trace the remaining three suspects. Their criminal antecedents, if any, are still to be verified,” Berhampur SP Saravana Vivek M said.
This is the second instance of a gang rape in a coastal Odisha town after a Class IX student was allegedly assaulted in a beachside hotel in Puri last week.
The crime was reported at 11 pm Sunday after the survivor’s friend persuaded her to visit a police station with him. “The allegedly drunk perpetrators at first hurled obscenities, to which her friend objected.
They then beat him up, gagged the woman and raped her,” a police officer said, citing the FIR.
The survivor underwent a medical examination and is being counselled.
