India, June 26 -- A 31-year-old woman, who was visiting her uncle in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, was allegedly gang-raped by three men at a deserted roadside restaurant on Tuesday night. The police have arrested one of the accused, while the others are absconding.

The woman was on her way back from her friend's house when two men on a motorcycle offered her a drop home.
