"rape"

At the birthday party, they reportedly served her cake laced with sedatives. They committed the offence after she fell unconscious.

The three accused, who also blackmailed the girl and threatened to upload her objectionable video online if she resisted their advances, have been arrested.

The survivor was rescued on the night of October 13 by the Commissionerate Police from Gatirout Patana area of Cuttack.

The family members alleged that the girl ended her life as her complaint was not registered, a charge denied by the police, who said that the victim's kin had not given any application to lodge an FIR.

As many as 4,541 rape cases have been reported Bangladesh in the past 16 years and the accused were punished in only 60 of these incidents, according to data from the tribunals.

The victim had told her mother about the ordeal earlier but the latter did not pursue it after the father denied the charge.

Both the accused, the victim's father (51), who worked as a school teacher, and her 21-year-old boyfriend, were arrested in the wee hours of Monday.
