Loan recovery agents pulled down the 27-year-old tourist by four men and gang-raped in isolated spot

A 27-year-old tourist visiting Orissa's famous Konark temple was allegedly pulled off a crowded bus by four men, taken to an isolated spot and gang-raped.

The incident occurred on Sunday, barely 10 km from the Sun Temple. The accused - reportedly loan recovery agents of a finance company - followed the tourist while she boarded a bus, dragged her out and made her board another bus before gang-raping her on the Puri-Konark road stretch
.
Incidentally, a person saw the accused taking the victim to the cashew plantation and informed the Konark police station that he suspected foul play. The police later found the woman unconscious in the bus.

All the accused - identified as Santosh Sahu, Prakash Pradhan, Gourang Pradhan and R Das - were arrested on Monday. Shockingly, none of her co-passengers, the bus driver or the conductor came to her rescue when the accused dragged her out.
News reports suggest the woman was traveling with her 60-year-old uncle T Nanda, the only one who tried to save her.
