“The accused gang-raped her in a sugarcane field and later at a house,” Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kumar said.

A mentally retarded woman was raped Saturday by Ram Sakal Ram, an employee of Sadar hospital in its premises in Motihari, about 155 km from here.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar said that medical tests of the victim were conducted and her statement was recorded before the judicial magistrate. He said the attacker was untraceable and on the run.

In Gopalganj district, 160 km from here, a 16-year-old girl was gang-raped Sunday by two youths in a village.
