Bihar Gang Rape Survivor Thrown Off Roof Family Alleges Threats to Drop Case
CONFLICT signal, reported in IN, from indiatimes.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Begusarai, Bihar, India.
What Happened
Begus: A 28-year-old woman in Begusarai was allegedly thrown from her house roof four months after a gang rape left her with serious injuries. Her husband claimed criminals threatened the family repeatedly to drop the case, with the latest attack occurring Monday night. Police arrested Bhongal Mahto, a suspect not among the five initially accused in the June 11 gang rape, who allegedly intimidated the family. The attackers reportedly locked the house of the victim’s brother, dragged her to the roof, and demanded ex gratia money from the district administration. The victim underwent surgery to remove a live cartridge, pebbles, and wood from her body. Four accused were arrested, but one remains at large. Police said the speedy trial for the gang rape case is ongoing, and property of the fifth accused was attached two months ago.
Why it matters
The family faces ongoing threats despite four arrests in the gang rape case, with the fifth accused still at large. The victim’s health complications from the June 11 assault, including surgery to remove foreign objects, highlight the severity of the violence. Police are intensifying efforts to arrest the fugitive, but the family remains vulnerable to intimidation. The case underscores the challenges in securing justice for survivors of sexual violence in Bihar.
