KOLKATA: A second-year student from Odisha was allegedly gang-raped outside a private medical college in West Burdwan district's Durgapur on Friday night, police confirmed on Saturday.
A case has been registered against several people in connection with the incident, though no arrests have been made so far.
The police reported that the student, a resident of Jaleswar in Odisha, had left the college premises with a classmate to eat outside.
"It is alleged that miscreants started harassing them at that time. They also chased their friend, who ran away in fear. Finding the girl alone, the miscreants dragged her to a nearby forest where the crime was committed, " a senior officer of the Asansol-Durgapur Police Commissionerate stated.
