The survivor was rescued last night by a team of the Commissionerate Police from Gatirout Patana area of Cuttack and was later handed over to Childline officials.

During counseling by the Childline authorities, the survivor revealed that she is a resident of Tirtol area of Jagatsinghpur. She had recently come to Cuttack and was staying with her elder sister. However, after some altercation, she was asked by her sister to return to the village.

The youth later took her to a house in Gatirout Patana, where he along with one of his associates allegedly abused her. The youth reportedly recorded a video of the incident and blackmailed her and repeatedly abused her for 22 days.
