Speaking to CNN-News18, the woman’s lawyer said the assault was similar to the Nirbhaya gang rape case in Delhi. It was also alleged that the woman’s husband was arrested when he tried to visit her in custody. The woman was granted bail on Saturday.
A medical examination had been conducted but the results were not immediately available. A special investigation team has been formed to look into the allegations.
