A gang rape survivor in Odisha's Keonjhar district alleged that she had to wait in a police van for 12 hours for her medical examination.
The 37-year-old woman was taken in a police van to the local hospital on Thursday morning where doctors allegedly refused to conduct her medical examination as the place of occurrence of the crime was under another community health centre.
The police personnel accompanying the woman then took her to the other health centre. She was made to sit in the police van as there was no lady doctor available to conduct the medical examination reported news agency PTI.
The police then took her back to the first hospital where the doctors at about 9:30 pm of Thursday conducted her preliminary examination.
