A housewife was stripped naked, gang-
raped and battered in full public glare in
Tripura, police said Saturday.
"A 37-year-old woman was gang-raped at
Bishalgarh in western Tripura Wednesday
night. After the rape, the women was
stripped naked, brutally beaten up and
then tied to a tree," a police official told
reporters here.
Based on the victim's complaint, police
immediately swung into action and
arrested seven people. However, three
more accused, including the main one, are
on the run.
Police said the accused dragged the house
wife from her home and took turns to
rape her before many people, including
women. But no one dared to come
forward to save the mother of a five-year-
old.
The role of the husband is also being
probed, the police official said.
Tripura Woman's Commission chairperson
Purnima Roy strongly condemned the
atrocious incident and asked the police to
take stern action against the culprits.
People organised a protest rally at
Bishalgarh, 25 km from here, over the
incident.
