The incident took place at Hotel Jamuna, opposite a police outpost in Maloparha, on Sunday night, said Boalia police OC Shahdat Hossain Khan.

Police have taken the victim to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital after she lodged a case at Boalia Police Station on Monday morning.

She is currently admitted at the One Stop Crisis Centre there.

Quoting her, the OC said she had eloped with her boyfriend 'Sumon' from Bogra and came to Rajshahi on Sunday evening.

They lodged into the hotel but its staffers did not register them in the hotel records, according to the victim.

She said the hotel employees threw her boyfriend out at night and seven of them raped her after threats, said the OC.

She managed to get out of the hotel on Monday morning and reported the matter to police.

Police have arrested four of the five accused after the complaint, said OC Shahdat.
