Purnia Gang Rape Case: How The Dancer Was Abducted & Assaulted
According to the survivor, her mouth was tied so she could not scream. During the ride, she saw a board that read “Dagarua” and realised she was far from the city.
The men took her to a godown where four more youths were waiting. There, all six accused forced her to drink alcohol and raped her one by one.
After committing the crime, five of them locked the godown from the outside and fled. One man, heavily drunk, stayed back and fell asleep. This gave the survivor a chance to act. Using his mobile phone, she called the emergency number 112 and informed the police about everything.
Police reached the spot quickly. The door was broken open. Inside, bottles of alcohol were found, and one youth was lying in a drunken state. The victim was rescued and admitted to GMCH for medical care.
Her statement was recorded at the hospital. The police arrested Dagarua resident Mohammad Junaid from the spot. Raids are ongoing to catch the remaining five accused.
