Assam girl raped in Coimbatore, accused arrested

In yet another case of rape that has come to light, three men have been arrested for gang raping a 22-year-old from Assam in Tirupur.

As per reports, the victim was raped on the pretext of a job offer by five men who called her to Tiruppur from Coimbatore.

The woman in her complaint has stated that she approached Rajesh Kumar and requested for a job in Tiruppur as she is a single parent and had lost her job due to lockdown.

Following the meeting which ended in evening, as Rajesh kumar couldn't find her a job immediately he asked his brother Raju to drop her at Palladam to catch the bus back to Coimbatore.
