Bilaspur: A 22-year-old deaf and mute woman was allegedly raped by five men in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district, police said on Tuesday.

All the accused have been arrested. The alleged incident took place on the night of August 25 in a village under the Marwahi police station limits, said Pradip Arya, Station House Officer (SHO).

On reaching home, she narrated the incident to her mother and aunt through sign language, after which a complaint was lodged at Marwahi police station on Monday, SHO Arya said.

The police called up a teacher from a school for the differently-abled to communicate with the girl.
