Bhubaneswar, Mar 30: A shocking crime has shaken Bhubaneswar, where two ambulance drivers have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping a woman who had sought help while returning from a hospital. The incident has raised serious concerns over safety in the capital city.

According to reports, the victim, a resident of West Bengal, had come to the city to accompany a relative for treatment at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. After completing her visit, she was waiting for an auto-rickshaw to reach the railway station when the accused approached her.

Police officials have assured strict action, and further investigation into the case is currently underway.
