A 17-year-old minor was allegedly drugged and gang raped for 7 days in Odisha’s Keonjhar district, police said on Saturday.
The girl who stays under Joda police station area of Keonjhar district was allegedly abducted by a person named Bhutan on February 21. The victim’s father alleged Bhutan drugged and raped his daughter along with three other accomplices.
“He looted all the jewellery of my daughter and raped her for the last 7 days. The assailants dumped her near Joda bus stand on Friday,” the victim’s father wrote in his complaint.
