Bhopal, Oct 26 : A 23-year-old woman was allegedly gangraped by five people, including one in khaki uniform, at Katni railway station in Madhya Pradesh, police said Monday.

In a complaint lodged with the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Betul, the 23-year-old woman said she was assaulted late Saturday when she was waiting for her husband who had gone out for buying some food.

"A man in uniform came to me and asked why I was sitting at the platform alone. When I told him that my husband has gone out to bring some eatables, he started asking foolish questions. Realising that he was unnecessarily harassing me, I moved on to the other platform but he followed me there also and asked me to accompany him to the police station as my husband has been arrested," the woman said in her complaint filed Sunday.

She said while taking her to the police station, the man stopped her at an isolated corner of the platform where four others joined him and all five raped her in turn. As they left, they threatened that her husband would be arrested if she reported the matter to the police.

The Government Railway Police (GRP) have lodged a case against unidentified attackers and are investigating the matter.

"It is too early to say anything. We are waiting for the medical report for further action," a GRP official said. (IANS)
