*Nagaon, Aug. 29: *A jawan of the Bihar regiment allegedly raped a
42-year-old Karbi woman in an interior village under Hauraghat police
station on Monday.

The family members of the victim led by a Karbi women's organisation, filed
an FIR in Diphu police station today alleging that a team of the army
regiment entered Mansingh Bey village, 14km from Haur-aghat police station,
at midnight and raped the woman.

Karbi Anglong deputy commissioner M. Angamuthu said the matter was being
investigated.

"We have received the FIR and sent the woman for a medical examination,"
said Karbi Anglong additional superintendent of police (headquarters)
Nityananda Goswami.

The regiment was recently deployed in the troubled district after the series
of attack on Hindi-speaking people by the anti-talks faction of the Karbi
militant outfit and Ulfa.
