PATNA: Four youths on two bikes kidnapped a 17-year-old girl from Saran and allegedly gang-raped her. The victim was later dropped on the station road under Nawada police station at Ara, the district headquarters of Bhojpur.
Police said the girl was abducted from Doriganj police station area in Saran district on April 16. Initially, the family didn’t report the incident to the police fearing social stigma attached to it.

In the complaint, the survivor's relatives claimed that the names of the accused were provided to the police for action. However, no action has been taken against them so far.
