A 16-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped by three persons, two of whom she knew, earlier this month after they took her in their car to Gurugram from Southwest Delhi’s Vasant Vihar, officers said on Friday.
Officers said the victim was a student of Class 10 in a government school. All the three accused, aged 23, 25 and 35, have been arrested and their car seized. The 25-year-old was her boyfriend, police said, adding that all the three accused work as private cab drivers. Officers said that all the accused and the victim lived in the same locality.
According to annual data released by the Delhi Police earlier this year, in over 98.7% of the rape cases, the accused were known to the victim. Police had said that in most cases, the accused was a family member, friend, neighbour or a relative.
