In a shocking incident, a minor girl from Gaya district of Bihar was gang-raped, hair chopped off and paraded through the village as punishment.

According to the police, the girl was abducted by a group of men on August 14 evening when she was out to relieve herself. She was then forcibly taken to the local panchayat building and had been repeatedly raped until she lost consciousness. Later, a villager spotted her the next day and informed her parents.
