Police in Dumka, Jharkhand have arrested three individuals implicated in the gang-rape of a young stage performer. The victim was deceived with an invitation to perform at a ‘Dandiya Night,’ after which she was assaulted. The perpetrators threatened her with dire consequences should she disclose the crime. The police have taken the accused into custody and are currently questioning them. The victim, who is a stage performer, lives in a rented house in Deoghar. On September 28, she received a call with an offer to perform at a ‘Dandiya Night.’ Subsequently, three men came to pick her up in a white car and took her to Handi Hasdiha.
