GURUGRAM: A 16-year-old girl was allegedly abducted, drugged and gang-raped at a village near Gurugram on Wednesday.

The girl was found abandoned on the outskirts of the village on Wednesday night. She was admitted to a private hospital soon after following which a case was registered against unknown persons at Rajender Park police station under Section 8 (moral turpitude and delinquency) of the POCSO Act.

The family found her wounded at a field on the outskirts of the village. “We took her to a private hospital in Budhera and informed the village sarpanch,” the mother said.

The family informed the police following which a team reached the hospital and recorded the statement of the victim. A report of the girl’s medical examination states that her injuries were indicative of having been raped by more than one person.
