Bhopal: The horror stories of crime against women in India keep coming with disturbing regularity.
In the latest incident, a nurse was tied up at a health centre in Chhattisgarh, gagged and gangraped by four persons, according to police. One of the perpetrators of the crime was a minor.
Three of the accused, including the 17-year-old, have been arrested by police so far.
The incident took place in Chhipchhipi village of Mahendragarh district.
The four men noticed that the nurse was working at the health centre, with no one else around, on Friday afternoon. They went in, tied her up, gagged her and took turns to rape her, senior police officer Nimesh Baraiya informed.
The nurse informed her parents of her ordeal and registered a complaint with police.
In her complaint, the nurse stated that the quartet recorded the assault and threatened to kill her if she informed the police.
Amidst the political blame game that has erupted between BJP and Congress, a group of health workers has threatened to cease work unless they are provided security.
“We want protection. If strict action is not taken against the accused, we will not work,” said Pratima Singh, Chief Health Officer at a health centre.
