In a disturbing incident in Udupi district, a young woman was allegedly gang-raped by a group of men in Karkala. The victim, who is currently receiving treatment at a hospital, had reportedly been lured by one of the accused, Altaf, whom she had met on Instagram.
According to the police, Altaf invited the woman to meet him on Friday afternoon. Once she arrived, he, along with two of his friends, offered her a beer that had been allegedly laced with drugs. After consuming the drink, the woman was allegedly assaulted by all three men.
Following the attack, the accused fled, leaving the victim near her home. The incident came to light when the woman's parents reported the crime to the police, leading to the arrest of Altaf. Pro-Hindu activists gathered at the police station, demanding immediate action against the culprits.
