A 30-year-old gang rape survivor was thrown off the roof of a building (approximately 15 feet) allegedly by relatives of the accused in Bihar’s Begusarai district.

The incident took place in the Simaria Ghat Bind Toli locality under the Chakia police station jurisdiction on Tuesday (November 10, 2026). She is currently admitted to Sadar Hospital, Begusarai.

“Based on the victim’s statement, the named accused, Bhongal Kumar, has been arrested, and police are conducting raids to arrest another unidentified accused,” Begusarai Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) Nikhil Kumar told The Hindu.

Under the supervision of the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Sadar-02, the Chakia police team has launched an investigation into the incident.

The police said the accused arrested in this case was not involved in the previous incident.

“The recent incident involves an act of physical assault. Regarding the prior case, four accused individuals have already been arrested and sent to jail; for one additional accused, proceedings for the attachment of property have been initiated, and a bounty has been announced. None of the accused from the previous case have been released from jail. The case is currently undergoing a speedy trial,” the Begusarai police said.

The rape took place on June 11, 2026. “Ever since the incident, people associated with the accused have been continuously pressuring me to withdraw the case and threatening dire consequences,” said the victim’s husband.

The woman was admitted to the hospital on the night of June 11 after the incident and was discharged on June 12. However, five days later, she complained of pain, and an ultrasound revealed wood and stones lodged in her private parts. The victim subsequently remained hospitalised for several days.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to probe the case, resulting in the arrest of four accused. Chakia Police Station in-charge Ranjiv Ranjan was also suspended for negligence of duty.
