As per a complaint filed by the victim’s mother at Rambha Police Station on June 1, her daughter was returning home after taking bath in a river near the village on May 26 when the incident took place. She was overpowered and later dragged to a nearby bush by at least three youths from the village identified as Sashank Swain, Sahadeb Swain and Subrat Swain at around 8 AM and was raped by one of them.
