Six people were arrested on Sunday for allegedly gang raping and brutally assaulting a 40-year-old widow in coastal Odisha’s Kendrapara district on the suspicion that she was having an illicit affair with their kin. The woman, who worked as a cook, has accused four men of gang raping her in Marshaghai block on Friday night. She has said that the wife of her employer also accompanied the men, and asked them to teach her a lesson. Around midnight on Friday, the men entered her house and took the woman, her son-in-law and the house owner to a fishery, but spared the daughter. A police officer said the wife of the victim’s employer suspected her to be having illicit affair with her husband.
