Pregnant woman gangraped in Bengal

A pregnant woman was raped by three men at her home in West Bengal’s industrial town of Asansol, said police. The 28-year-old woman was alone at her home when three men knocked at the door and she thought her husband had returned from work. The men barged in and took turns to assault her, police said. The woman’s husband, a motor mechanic, found her unconscious when he returned home. “A case of gangrape was registered. The woman told us that one of the culprits is a local man called Kuldip Singh. She didn’t know the other two,” said Laxminarayan Meena, Commissioner of Asansol Durgapur Police. The woman has given a confidential statement to a court and a medical test has confirmed she was raped, said police officers.
