A 14-year-old girl in Khagaria, Bihar, was allegedly drugged and gang-raped by six men, an incident that has shocked the local community and highlighted ongoing safety concerns in the region. The girl was reportedly lured out of her home by a man familiar to her, who then took her on a motorcycle to a nearby embankment.
There, alongside five other men, she was given a drink reportedly laced with drugs before being assaulted and left unconscious. The girl regained consciousness the next morning and returned home where she disclosed the horrific event to her family. A formal complaint has led to a police case against all six suspects, who are still at large awaiting arrest.
