Four individuals nabbed by the Mundalama police for their alleged involvement in a gang rape of a 17-yer old girl, have been enlarged on bail by the Puttalam Magistrate’s Court.

The suspects were released when the case was taken up for hearing before Puttalama Additional Magistrate.

The Mundalama police apprehended the suspects last Monday (28) following a complaint lodged by the victim, a resident of Udappuwa Division No. 6 area, on July 02.

It was reported that the girl was subjected to rape by six individuals, when she visited her boyfriend at his barbershop in Udappuwa last month.

The suspects were apprehended by the police, when the four youths had returned to Udappuwa after being employed as fishermen in Mullaitivu.

A source from the Udappuwa police told Ada Derana that the investigation teams believe the other two individuals have fled the country following the incident.
