DHAKA: An Indian woman said on Thursday that she was gang-raped by four officers at a police station, the latest in a string of shocking sex attacks in the troubled state of Uttar Pradesh.

The woman said she had gone to the station overnight on Monday in the state’s Hamirpur district to seek her husband’s release when she was attacked.

‘At 11.30pm when there was no one in the room, the sub-inspector took me to his room and raped me inside the police station,’ the woman told CNN-IBN.

She filed a complaint with a senior officer on Wednesday over the attack, which allegedly occurred when she refused to pay a bribe to secure the release of her husband.

‘The procedure will be followed, the victim has filed a complaint and the guilty will be arrested soon,’ said Virendra Kumar Shekhar, a police official from Hamirpur, reports The Straits Times.
