On late Friday night, a 17-year-old girl hailing from BIhar was allegedly gang-raped in Odisha’s Bhubneshwar.
The girl was rescued and admitted to Capital Hospital by a group of autorickshaw drivers, police officers claimed.
Police Commissioner S. Dev Datt Singh highlighted the survivor’s condition remains critical with her admitted in the ICU. He also assured that the CCTV footage from the area is being examined.
According to the police, the girl was found lying unconscious with multiple injuries on the roadside near the Ashoknagar area of Bhubaneswar.
The locals initially mistook her to be specially abled. Later, a group of autorickshaw drivers noticed her and shifted her to Capital Hospital.
The hospital authorities said the girl was brutally assaulted and was in a state of trauma.
“She was unable to speak clearly but managed to indicate that she was from Bihar,” a hospital official, requesting anonymity, said.
