Two persons have been accused of sexually assaulting a 66-year-old woman in Salem on Saturday (March 14, 2026) night. One of them has been arrested, and the police are on the lookout for the other.
According to the police, the woman, a resident of Gorimedu under Salem Corporation limits, was sleeping outside her home on Saturday night when the two men, reportedly in an inebriated state, threatened her at knifepoint and sexually assaulted her at around 1 a.m. They then fled the scene.
