A survivor of a gang‑rape in Bihar was pushed off a rooftop months after the assault, suffering serious injuries, according to police reports.
Police in Bihar have reported that a woman who survived a gang‑rape earlier this year was thrown from a rooftop several months after the original attack. The incident left her with multiple injuries that required immediate medical attention. Local authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the assault and the subsequent rooftop incident, treating both as separate offenses under the Indian Penal Code.
Witnesses said the victim was taken to the rooftop of a residential building where she was forcibly pushed, causing her to fall onto the ground below. Emergency services arrived promptly and transported her to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed serious but non‑fatal injuries.
The police have appealed for anyone with information about the perpetrators to come forward, emphasizing the need for swift justice. The case has reignited concerns about the safety of sexual‑assault survivors in the state and prompted calls for stronger protective measures.
The investigation remains ongoing, with officials stating that they will keep the public informed as new details emerge.
