Woman faints during home guard recruitment in Bihar, gang-raped in ambulance

A 26-year-old woman participating in a Home Guard recruitment drive in Gaya was allegedly gang-raped inside an ambulance while being transported to a hospital after collapsing during a physical test.

According to the police, the incident took place on July 24 during a physical endurance test at the Bihar Military Police grounds in Bodh Gaya. The candidate, who fainted mid-race, was being taken to the hospital in an ambulance stationed at the venue. During the journey, she alleges she was sexually



assaulted by multiple individuals inside the vehicle.

Acting swiftly, the Gaya Police arrested two suspects - Vinay Kumar, the ambulance driver, and Ajit Kumar, the onboard technician - within two hours of receiving the complaint. Both are currently in custody and being interrogated.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Gaya formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by the Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Bodh Gaya under the guidance of the City SP, to investigate the matter.
