ROURKELA: In a disturbing incident, two minor girls were allegedly gangraped by unidentified miscreants in a forested patch behind the Birsa Munda multi-purpose stadium under Plant Site police limits in Rourkela on Saturday evening.
The victims had come to buy shoes when the incident took place between 5 pm and 8.30 pm. The victims managed to escape and save their lives. Police reportedly detained three persons in connection with the incident on Sunday.
According to the complaint, the victims, aged between 14 and 15 years, had come to Rourkela market to buy sandals. They got down near Bisra Square when three miscreants approached and offered to drop them back at their home on the pretext that the area was not safe for them.
