🚨 Brutal Gang R**e Reported on Silchar Bypass; Fiancé Held at Knifepoint

Silchar, Feb 22: In a shocking and deeply disturbing incident, a young woman was allegedly gang-raped by seven men on the Silchar Bypass on Thursday night. The crime reportedly took place near the Chengkuri Road area.

According to the victim’s statement, she and her fiancé had gone for a drive around 8 PM and parked their vehicle near Chengkuri Road. A Thar vehicle carrying seven men allegedly arrived at the location shortly afterward.

The accused, reportedly armed with knives, forcibly pulled the fiancé out of the car and detained him at knifepoint a short distance away.
