Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police have detained two persons in connection with the alleged loot and gang-rape of a woman occupant of a flat in an apartment at Maitri Vihar in Odisha capital late on Sunday.
The woman lodged a complaint with city police on Tuesday, alleging that two masked robbers first looted valuables from her house and then took turns to rape her by holding her toddler at a knife point.
Police said that she went to sleep with her daughter after dinner but woke up around 2 am. She sat on the balcony for a while and then went to the bathroom. As she stepped out, she was startled to see the burglars, who first looted a gold earring and a mobile phone. On realising that there is no male member in the house, the robbers sexually assaulted her before fleeing with the valuables, she said in her complaint, adding that the accused were speaking in Hindi.
The burglars also threatened to kill her daughter if she revealed it to anyone and returned her SIM card before fleeing.
According to sources, the victim, working in a private hospital, had moved into the flat with her two-year old daughter ten days ago. The apartment complex is home to hundreds of families from Nilamadhaba slum rehabilitated by the state government.
