Bihar: A woman dancer was allegedly raped in front of her husband in Bihar while returning after an event. The incident occurred in the Shahpur area on the outskirts of capital city Patna. The woman worked as a dancer and was returning home with her husband in the early hours of Wednesday, as per a PTI report
According to police, the alleged rape took place when the couple stopped to ask directions in Shahpur Dera village. On the pretext of dropping them at the railway station, three men took them on their motorcycles and committed the crime. The police have arrested two accused.
"When her husband asked three passersby for directions to the Dighwara railway station, they asked the couple to get onto their motorcycles. Instead of taking them to the station, they were taken to a secluded place where the woman was raped in front of her husband who was held hostage," ASP (Danapur) Bhanu Pratap Singh told PTI.
As per the officer's statement, the accused left them there and fled after the crime took place.
"Based on the victim's statement, police registered a case and started a search for the accused. Manoj Kumar and Manish Kumar were arrested on Wednesday night. A search is on to nab the third accused, Nagendra Kumar," he added.
Last month in another incident, a 19-year-old woman was allegedly raped by two men near the KR Puram railway station in Bengaluru. The incident took place around 1:30 am while the victim was on her way back home to Bihar from Kerala.
According to PTI, the young woman had been working in Kattappana, Kerala, but was dissatisfied with her job and decided to return home. She initially bought a ticket to Mangaluru but instead used it to travel to Bengaluru.
Before reaching KR Puram railway station, she contacted her cousin. She was walking towards Mahadevapura with her cousin to find food when the attack occurred. As they walked, two unidentified men approached them. One of the attackers assaulted her cousin and restrained him, while the other dragged the woman to an isolated spot and sexually assaulted her.
