A 32-year-old health worker was allegedly raped at knifepoint by a minor boy at her workplace in Chhattisgarh's Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur (MCB) district, police said on Saturday.
The police have apprehended the 17-year-old accused and two of his accomplices, while one more accused in the case was on the run, an official said.
