Original news report (link provided in this report as well) had mentioned 5 alleged rapist which were also the hospital employees. "Two days back, ‘N’ of Saddam Town was allegedly gang-raped by three hospital employees when the woman visited the OPD for administering polio drops to her child", Why does this report say 3 now?
