In the Raigarh area of Chhattisgarh, a 27-year-old tribal woman was gang-raped by eight individuals, according to officials on Wednesday.
According to authorities, two more persons are still being identified after the first six people were taken into custody. According to Sanjeev Shukla, inspector general of police (Bilaspur range), the event happened on Monday night.
The woman spent Monday at a nearby fair. One of the accused knew her, so they arranged to meet at the neighborhood market. He was with the other accused persons when the principal accused met him. The victim said that eight guys who were with the primary accused had sexually assaulted her,” the IG stated.
Following the event, the accused also made threats against the woman, and they left.
By Tuesday evening, we had taken six people into custody. Two of the defendants have run away. Superintendent of Police in Raigarh, Divyag Patel, stated, “We are questioning the apprehended accused to find out where they are and who the other people are. They will be arrested shortly as well.
An inquiry is being conducted into the allegations of gang rape that the Pusaur police have filed. We won’t be disclosing the accused’s identity since doing so may jeopardize the inquiry. The situation is serious,” the SP said.
Bhupesh Baghel, a former state chief minister, called the event severe and called for the quick arrest of all those involved as well as their punishment.
