A ghastly incident of a married woman being kidnapped and raped by three persons belonging to her neighbouring villages in Kendrapada district has come to the fore.
According to Marshaghai PS IIC Sukanta Kumar Patra, a 27-year-old married woman of Badagaon village was allegedly kidnapped on June 29 by three youths, Sarju Mallick of Dumuka and Tukuna Mallick and Ajay Behera of Balikuda village.

The victim woman lodged a complaint to the police on Monday.
