Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Dhruba Das said that the woman who was with the three men, helped them to commit the crime.

One of the three men has been arrested, and he too is an Adivasi. All the men had their faces covered with ''gamcha'' (traditional cotton towel) during the rape.

As per the woman's statement, the incident took place at Sakra village under Nadanghat police station area at around 10.30 pm.
