Two migrant labourers have been arrested for allegedly raping a 19-year-old woman in Odisha's Kendrapara district, police said on Tuesday.
The accused, who hail from neighbouring West Bengal, invited the survivor for some work at their rented house in a village in Rajanagar police station area on Monday evening, and gagged and gangraped her, an officer said.
She informed her family about the incident, following which her father lodged a police complaint, he said.
The two accused were arrested after medical examination, and prima facie, it seems that the girl was gangraped, the officer said.
