Beltangady, May 31: In a horrifying incident, a mentally-challenged orphan girl was gang-raped by a group of men at Pilichandikallu in Guruvayanakere. The relentless abuse has left the victim six months pregnant.
It has been reported that four to six men from the Moodbidri area exploited the victim’s mental illness to physically abuse her. The girl lives at home with her mentally-challenged brother, while their father, who works long hours to earn a livelihood, leaves early in the morning and returns late at night. The perpetrators took advantage of the father's absence to continuously harass the girl.
