Gangtok: A girl from Sikkim was brutally gang-raped at a guest house in Kishanganj, Bihar by two individuals. The incident occurred after the victim missed her train to Sikkim on Wednesday night.
The victim, along with her friend, had planned to return to Sikkim but missed their train. They contacted a local friend who arranged accommodation for them at a guest house.
The accused have been identified as Arhan Akhtar, a resident of Bahadurganj, and Amjad Hussain, a resident of Araria district. Akhtar was reportedly known to the friend who had arranged the stay for the girls.
