What is the full story?
A student from Jaleswar, Odisha, was raped by several men in Durgapur. The incident occurred on the medical college campus near Shobhapur. The student had gone out to eat with a male friend outside the college campus. One of the accused forcibly dragged her to a secluded area behind the campus gate and raped her. The remaining accused then committed the heinous act.

The three-member team will submit a report to the Odisha government after inquiring about the victim's treatment and the ongoing investigation into the case in West Bengal.
