BSF personnel at the Angrail camp rescue the two and hand them over to police

Two women from Chittagong were allegedly gang-raped on a boat while crossing over to Gaighata in West Bengal’s North 24-Parganas on Sunday, reports Times of India.

According to police, the two women, aged 18 and 20, left home Sunday morning accompanied by a local youth who allegedly promised them jobs in Kolkata.

They took the boat from Daulatpur. While crossing the Ichhamati, the youth and the two boatmen allegedly gang-raped the two women, the report said.

BSF personnel posted at the Angrail camp of the paramilitary force rescued the two and handed them over to police.

The girls told the police they were thrown off the boat near the border fencing in Gaighata where the BSF team found the girls and handed them over to Gaighata police after giving them first aid.

Police took the girls to Bongaon sub-divisional where they are currently receiving treatment.

A medical test was also conducted on them to establish if their claims of sexual assault are credible.
