Madurai, July 20: A 22-year old woman was sexually abused by four persons, including her lover, and thrown off a railway overbridge here, police said today. The woman, an employee of a private firm, suffered fractures in her legs and sustained multiple injuries in the incident, which occurred three days back, they said.
Her lover, Manikandan, has been arrested while the other three were absconding, police said. The woman was taken to a park by Manikandan and sexually abused by him and three others.
Later, they threw her on the railway track from the overbridge apparently hoping that she would be run over by a train and police would close it as a suicide case. However, the woman, in a semiconscious state, was spotted by some locals who rushed her to Rajaji Government Hospital here.
Confirming that the woman was sexually assaulted by more than one person, doctors at the hospital said she had suffered multiple injuries.
