In Odisha's Malkangiri district, a horrific incident of abduction and sexual assault has come to light. According to Malkangiri superintendent of police (SP) Vinodh Patil H, who shared details about the incident on Tuesday, a young girl was abducted while returning home after attending evening prayers in a local place of worship.
The girl was first taken by three youths to a deserted house, where she was subjected to gang-rape. Afterwards, she was abducted again and this time by a truck driver. The girl managed to escape from her captors and flagged down a truck driver for help. However, instead of helping her, the driver took her to a jungle and attempted to rape her.

The three youths and the truck driver have been arrested by the local police, and all four accused have been sent to jail following their arrest. A case has been registered under appropriate sections of law against all the accused. The police are working diligently to build a strong case against the accused.
The girl was later handed over to her family after counselling. The identity of the truck driver involved in the reported sexual assault incident in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, has not been publicly disclosed. The police are continuing their investigation to ensure justice for the victim.
