In a shocking and disturbing event, five students from engineering and pharmacy backgrounds have been taken into custody for their alleged involvement in the rape of a 17-year-old girl in the Ganjam district of Odisha. The incident, which occurred on May 3, has left the entire community in a state of shock and outrage.
According to a police official, the incident took place in the Baidyanathpur police station area in Berhampur town. The victim, who was waiting for her father on the road, was approached by one of the accused who happened to be an acquaintance of hers. He then took her to his house, where he offered her a drink laced with sedatives. As the girl became disoriented from the drink, the accused called his friends who were staying together at a mess and studying at different colleges in the city.
The group then took turns to rape the girl, before dropping her off at another location and warning her not to tell anyone about the incident. However, the brave survivor confided in her parents and they immediately filed a complaint on May 5. The accused were apprehended and were subjected to medical tests, along with the victim.
Superintendent of Police Sarthak Sarangi stated that the accused have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act. He also mentioned that a search is underway for another accused who is currently on the run.
This heinous crime has left the entire community in shock and has sparked widespread outrage. The authorities are taking the necessary steps to ensure justice for the victim and to bring the perpetrators to justice. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family during this difficult time. We hope that such incidents never occur again and that strict measures are taken to prevent such atrocities in the future.
