A 26-year-old software engineer was allegedly gang-raped by around 10 men in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district, police said today.
The woman, who is in Jharkhand as she is working from home, was out with her boyfriend on a motorbike on Thursday evening when the incident took place.
A group of eight-ten men stopped the couple, beat the boyfriend up and allegedly gang-raped the woman after taking her to a secluded area, the police told Press Trust of India.
Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Shekhar said that a case was registered at the local police station and an investigation underway to identify those behind the incident.

Her medical check-up was conducted at the local hospital.
More details awaited.
