Kolkata/IBNS: Two days after a 26-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped and robbed by a few unidentified miscreants at her residence in Kolkata's Garden Reach, the city police on Thursday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the matter, officials said.

According to sources in the Kolkata Police, an Assistant Commissioner-rank official will head the seven-member SIT probing the alleged gang-rape and robbery case.

Earlier on Tuesday night, a woman registered a complaint with Garden Reach Police Station where she alleged that few burglars had robbed her house and gang-raped her after tying her up with ropes.

She also claimed that cash and jewellery worth Rs. 15 lakh were robbed from her house.

Later on Wednesday morning, forensic experts and officials from Kolkata Police's Detective Department visited the scene.
