A young girl was allegedly gang-raped in Rourkela, Odisha, marking the third such incident in a week.

In the city of Rourkela, a young girl has been subjected to a heinous crime by a group of five individuals, including two of her own friends. The police were informed about the incident on Tuesday night by the victim's family, and a case has been registered at the Raghunathpalli police station. The authorities are currently investigating the matter.

According to reports, the girl had gone out with her two friends on Sunday night and they had visited a restaurant together. However, things took a horrifying turn when they later took her to an isolated area and proceeded to gang-rape her. As if that wasn't enough, three other individuals also joined in and committed the same heinous act.

In a statement to the press, Rourkela's Superintendent of Police, Brijesh Kumar Rai, revealed that a team of police officers led by an additional SP has already started investigating the case. He reassured the public that all the accused individuals will be arrested promptly.

Sadly, this is not the first such incident to occur in the steel city within the past week. Just a few days prior, two minor girls from Jharkhand were also allegedly gang-raped by three young men. On the same day, a class 9 student was harassed by her school teacher. Rai confirmed that three individuals have been arrested in connection with the gang-rape of the two girls, and the police are working diligently to gather evidence and submit a charge-sheet within the next 15 days. The teacher accused of harassing the class 9 student has also been apprehended by the authorities. This series of events has caused great distress and concern within the community.
