Odisha woman gang-raped, 1 suspect arrested
A 31-year-old woman in Mayurbhanj, Odisha, was allegedly gang-raped by three men after accepting a late-night lift from two strangers on a motorcycle.
They took her to a deserted roadside dhaba, where a third man joined and the assault happened.
The incident is part of a worrying rise in sexual violence cases across the state.
TL;DR
One arrested, 2 still missing
The victim's family filed an FIR soon after. Police have arrested one accused, Bikash Patra, who is in his 30s, while two others are still missing.
This case comes amid several recent reports of sexual violence in Odisha—including another gang rape at Gopalpur beach—prompting calls for faster trials and stricter action from both officials and opposition leaders.
