A woman was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by her former husband and his accomplices in Laxmipur's Kamalnagar upazila Friday night.

Victim's mother on Saturday night filed a case against her daughter's ex-husband Abu Kalam, 35, and his two accomplices with Kamalnagar Police Station under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.
