Late on Friday night, a distressing incident unfolded in Dumka, Jharkhand, where a Spanish woman, reportedly on a bike tour with her husband, was allegedly subjected to a harrowing gang rape. The appalling episode occurred in Kurumahat, within the jurisdiction of the Hansdiha police station area.
Details reveal that the couple, avid bikers, were encamped in tents within Kunji village, Dumka, as part of their journey. Their intended destination was Bhagalpur, Bihar, with the couple traversing the region on their motorcycle.
Reports indicate that a group of approximately 8 to 10 men is believed to have perpetrated this heinous act, prompting the authorities to detain three individuals in connection with the incident. In response to the gravity of the situation, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to delve into the matter, supplemented by the involvement of forensic experts.
