A nurse was tied up, gagged and gang-raped by four people including a teenager in a health centre in Chhipchhipi village of Chhattisgarh’s Mahendragarh district, reports quoting police said.

Three accused including the 17-year-old juvenile have been arrested, while the fourth person is reportedly absconding.
