The woman, in her late 20s, has alleged that she was raped in a car. There were five men in the car; while one assaulted her, the others allegedly held her down.
When she tried to cry out, the men hit her and threatened her with a gun.
The woman says she was waiting for a taxi outside a nightclub on Park Street on the night of February 4.
She was offered a lift by a man who had struck up an acquaintance with her at the night club.
Initially, there were two men in the car. But when she got into the back seat, three other men got in. She says she was later thrown out of the car.
Traumatised and in shock, the woman filed a police case four days later.
She went to the police on the 9th. The next day, she was taken to a hospital for medical tests. The specialist was not available. Other doctors said that since a few days had gone by since her rape, it would be hard to gather medical evidence. She was finally tested on Tuesday. The report is awaited.
She has identified the man who offered her the lift home, and later held her down while she was raped. But his family says he has not been in the country since the first of January and they have papers to prove this.
The rapist is believed to be another man whose name was revealed by her. But when the police showed the woman Facebook photos of different men from Kolkata with this name, she could not identify him.
The woman has been called by the police to see if she could positively identify the men detained.
