The victim, her husband and two other relatives were sleeping at the railway station when some youths managed to take her away to a nearby room and gang-raped her, according to Government Railway Police (GRP) Inspector J. Murali.

Taken into custody

Government Railway Police DSP C. Harshavardhan Rao said three youths, who were petty vendors at the station, and a woman sweeper, who assisted them in committing the crime were taken into custody. Four others, who helped the accused, were at large. The victim was sent for medical examination.
