In a disturbing incident in Davanagere district, Karnataka, a 41-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped by a group of ten youths after they offered her a lift while she was walking home following a quarrel with her husband. The incident took place on June 3, but the victim reported it to the police only after a video of the assault surfaced on social media. The accused reportedly mixed alcohol into a cold drink given to the woman, rendering her unconscious. They then took her to a secluded area where they sexually assaulted her one after another, recording the act on a mobile phone. Initially, the victim remained silent due to threats from the assailants, who warned her against disclosing the incident or the video would be shared online.
