Gang rape survivor made to wait for 12 hours in police van for medical examination

A gang rape survivor in Odisha’s Keonjhar district alleged that she had to wait in a police van for 12 hours for her medical examination. The 37-year-old woman was taken in a police van to Anandapur sub-divisional hospital morning where doctors refused to undertake her medical examination as the place of occurrence of the crime was under Salania Community Health Centre (CHC) area. She was made to sit in the police van as there was no lady doctor at Salania CHC to conduct the exam.
