Kolkata: Two men allegedly raped a woman, who had some mental illness, inside a car and later dumped her on a road near Sonarpur railway station on Tuesday morning.
According to a source, the woman, aged around 35 years, was admitted at a home in Panchasayar since a few days as she had some psychological problem. On Monday night, she went to sleep as usual after having food.
Around 2:30 am, the caretaker of the home found her sleeping but at 3:30 am
the woman was reportedly missing. It was found that she somehow managed to break the lock of the gate and went out. The woman said she went out of the home for a walk. When she was walking on the road, a youth arrived in a white car and dragged her inside the vehicle while another man was reportedly inside the car. After a few minutes' drive, the car was taken to an abandoned place where she was raped by the men and forced to get into the car again.
She was again raped inside the car and beaten up when she tried resisting them.
The accused persons threw her out of the car near Sonarpur railway station. The woman managed to board a train and went to one her relatives at Gariahat. Later, she was sent to Behala, where her family resides. The concerned authorities at the home in Panchasayar were also informed. They had lodged a missing complaint at the Panchasayar police station.
After she was provided medical treatment another complaint was lodged at the same police station.

The police have collected CCTV camera footages of the cameras installed on the roads to get some clues about the car.
"Why there was no security person at the home," asked one of the family members of the woman. Till Wednesday night, the police failed to arrest the accused persons. "The probe is on and the CCTV footages are being scanned to match the description of the car. The police will also find out how the home functioned allowing such security lapses," said a senior police officer.
