The superintendent of police Ajay Pratap Swain said that the woman was waiting for a train at the Rourkela railway station on December 30 on her way to her home in Jharsuguda district. She met her brother’s friend who advised her to travel with her on a separate train for Jharsuguda, along with him.
Briefing the details, Swain said, as reported by The Hindustan Times, “When the girl boarded the train along with the youth, she soon realised the train was not heading towards Jharsuguda but towards Chakradharpur. The youth then advised her to get down at Lotapahar railway station in Jharkhand and take a bus to reach Jharsuguda.”
Adding more, he said, “However, the youth took her to a house after both reached the station. Five other friends of the youth arrived at the house and allegedly gang-raped the girl for two days.”
After being released by the accused, the woman lodged a complaint with the police. Later she was sent for treatment in a government hospital in Rourkela, and her brother stated that she is in a critical condition now.
