According to the victim, the accused not only performed unnatural sex with her, but also burnt her private part with a burning cigarette. The police had arrested all five accused by January 17 evening.

The victim had been kept in Rajesh’s farmhouse in the Kshipra area, where accused Rajesh used to allow his friends to make relations with her. After that, they started torturing her by performing unnatural sex. When she protested, the accused threatened her with dire consequences.

According to the police, the woman was being tortured by the accused for the past one month. The victim, somehow, managed to escape from the farmhouse and reach her parents’ home in Chhattisgarh. The police said the victim was highly educated and was employed as a teacher in a school in Chhattisgarh.
