Authorities have apprehended three individuals in connection with the incident and initiated a manhunt to capture the remaining culprits. A specialized investigation team (SIT) has been assembled to delve into the matter.

The survivor is currently receiving medical treatment in a hospital, according to police reports.

Dumka Superintendent of Police Pitambar Singh Kherwar recounted how a patrolling team from Hansdiha encountered the distressed couple on the roadside around 11 pm on Friday. “Given their Spanish communication, the police brought them to a local hospital, suspecting they required assistance,” he explained.

The Spanish couple subsequently informed medical staff about the sexual assault they endured.

“We were notified about the incident at 1:30 am on Saturday. Prompt investigation ensued thereafter. Following interrogation, some individuals were detained, with confessions obtained. A concerted effort, aided by forensic and CID assistance, is underway to track down the remaining suspects,” Kherwar added.

Jharkhand BJP president and former chief minister Babulal Marandi emphasized the urgency for decisive action against the police, expressing concerns over the implications for tourism in the region and decrying the perceived breakdown of law and order.

The matter was addressed in the Jharkhand Assembly during its budget session conclusion, where state minister Mithilesh Thakur condemned the atrocity and pledged resolute measures against the perpetrators.
