The girl informed her family about the incident today following which an FIR was lodged with Sarmera police station.

The police swung into action immediately and arrested all the four accused, said the SP, who himself visited the spot.

In a similar incident, a group of armed youths tied a man to a tree and raped his wife and 15-year-old daughter near Sondiha village of Konch Police Station area of Gaya district in the night of June 13.
