Five youths were arrested in connection with the gang rape of a 17-year-old minor girl in Kalua Muchirampur village in Debra Police Station area in West Bengal.
“On Sunday, the minor went to her maternal uncle’s house. She was allegedly raped by some youths while she was returning from there at around 2:30 pm. She was dropped home in an unconscious state by someone on a bike,” said a police official.
