Four arrested for raping woman

Four people including a former Sarapanch and his two brothers were arrested today for allegedly raping a married woman and sticking her nude photos in public places at Nimapalli Banjara village in Odisha's Ganjam district, the police said.
The accused persons were identified as Chhitaranjan Dalia(35), former Sarapanch of Genja panchayat, his two brothers - Tukuna(27) and Mitu(25), and Mitu Gouda(25) of the same village, said Inspector In-Charge of Sorada police station S K Jena.
Two others were also involved in the incident that occurred about three months ago, said the IC adding "We have identified the other two accused persons. They are working outside the state. We are trying to nab them."

While Chitta, his brother Mitu and another accused allegedly raped the 27-year-old woman and a mother of an 8-year-old boy at her house, other three accused persons had taken nude photos of the victim. Her husband, a farmer, was not in the house during the incident, the police said.
The woman lodged an FIR against them when they allegedly put the photos in public places on November 23.
"After the incident, the accused persons allegedly blackmailed the woman demanding money. They also asked her not to disclose the incident to anyone. When she did not meet their demands, they put up her photos," the police said.

Though the incident took place about three months ago, she did not lodge an FIR out of fear. Medical test of both accused persons and the woman was conducted.
