Stage performer gang-raped by co-artistes in Palamu Jharkhand

Days after the horrific gangrape of a Spanish traveler, another alleged gang-rape incident from Jharkhand has been reported.

A 21-year-old orchestra dancer was gang-raped in the Palamu district of the state. The victim has accused three men of spiking her drink and gang-raping her.

The survivor, who is recovering at a government-run hospital, has told the police that she is a resident of Chhattisgarh and had come to Palamu to perform in an orchestra at a wedding.

She told police that Golu, one of the accused who runs an orchestra group, had invited her and her sister for a performance but later cancelled it.

The accused then brought her to his home where he offered her a drink which, she alleged was spiked. In an intoxicated state, Golu along with his two friends, repeatedly raped her.

The incident comes days after a Spanish tourist was allegedly gang-raped in Jharkhand's Dumka. Four accused have been arrested in the case and an investigation is on.
