Falling in love with a boy on Facebook has cost dear for a girl in Bhubaneswar. Relying on the guy and going with him for an outing landed her in trouble as she was sexually assaulted by the guy and his friends at a lonely location on the outskirts of the city on Thursday night.
The girl, who is staying with her family at OMC colony of Uni-8 in the city, lodged a complaint with the Mahila police station on Friday after she was rescued by the Chandaka police.
One of the accused Jitendra Biswal was arrested by the Mahila Police, while Biswal’s friend and the driver of the vehicle, who are also the other accused, are absconding, the police said.
According to reports, Biswal called the girl over phone to meet him at the Patia Big Bazaar mall for shopping and lunch.
After the lunch, he along with the girl went in a long drive, but the girl didn’t know that the other two, including the driver, would join with them and outrage her modesty in the vehicle.
They took the girl to a lonely place near Bhatkudi village under Chandaka police station through Infosys road and attempted to rape the girl in a red-coloured Skoda car till a PCR van reached there to rescue her at 10.30 pm, sources said.
