21-year-old ‘raped in captivity by 60 men’ in Seraikela

Jamshedpur: A 21-year-old girl lodged a police complaint on Thursday saying she was raped multiple times for about a month in

captivity

at a "deserted" garage by nearly 60 people in Kanderbera of Seraikela-Kharsawan district.

In her complaint with the Chandil police station of the district, the girl said she is from Pursudih in Jamshedpur. She also said she was injected with drugs by her tormentors and often beat her up if she refused. She escaped early on Thursday on the pretext of attending to nature's call and reached a roadside eatery on the Ranchi-Jamshedpur stretch of NH-33, from where the workers help her contact the police.

Chandil police station officer-in-charge Sanoj Kumar Chaudhary said the girl is weak and not being able to speak properly. They have launched an investigation into the incident soon after receiving her complaint, he said.

"Police visited the garage but found it open and not deserted. The girl is also not very clear how or when she was abducted," the officer said.

Chaudhary added, "She has injury marks on several parts of her body. After proper medical aid, she will be shifted to MGM hospital for a check-up."
