Police have arrested three men for reportedly raping a housewife from the district's Pirbari area on Sunday.
The victim, hailing from Comilla's Laksam upazila, said she went outside her Pirbari residence to go to a nearby grocery store, when she was abducted by two locals - Mobarak and Ashik.
They forcibly took her to an under-construction building and committed the crime. Afterwards, two more individuals, Shohag and Alauddin arrived and took turns in sexually violating the victim.
Later when the locals sensed their presence, all the accused fled, leaving the victim behind.
Sadar Model Police Station was informed soon after, who then arrested Mobarak, Ashik and Alauddin on Sunday evening.
Another accused, Shohag, remains absconding.
Md Selim Uddin, officer-in-charge of Sadar Model police station, said the victim was sent to Brahmanbaria Sadar Hospital Monday afternoon, where she was to undergo a medical test.
A case will be filed soon, he added.
