What happened with the woman?

The victim and her colleagues had refuelled their car at a petrol pump in the region when a white vehicle with five passengers began to follow them, a senior police officer was cited as saying. The officer told PTI, “As soon as they got onto the highway, the men in the other car started making lewd remarks towards the victim and began driving recklessly.” The officer added that the vehicle then reportedly dangerously blocked the victim’s car toward a road divider, causing it to overturn. Since the victim was sitting in the front seat, she suffered fatal injuries. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, she was declared brought dead.

Victim and suspects’ cars are seized.

After the accident, the alleged eve-teasers soon fled the scene and abandoned their vehicle. The cars of both the victim and the suspects have been seized, said the police, adding that an FIR has been filed at the Kanksa police station. As per the preliminary probe, the five men were in an inebriated state while driving at the time of the incident. The officer said, “We found glasses inside the car with traces of alcohol.”

Meanwhile, the vehicle’s owner has been identified as a resident of Panagarh. The victim’s body has been sent for post-mortem, and a search operation has been launched to hunt down the suspects.
