Bhubaneswar, March 30 A 21-year-old married woman from West Bengal was allegedly raped by two men in Bhubaneswar, police said.

The incident occurred on March 27, and the two accused, both residents of Odisha's Nayagarh district, were arrested on Monday, they said.

The woman had come to Bhubaneswar from Midnapore in West Bengal to meet her husband, who works at a private institute in the Chandaka police station area of the city.
