ABOHAR : Six people have been booked for abducting and raping a 15-year-old Dalit girl here. The crime took place on Thursday and police registered a case on Saturday.

The victim complained to the police that on Thursday evening when she was on way to her home, four people (Kuljit, Rahul, Raj and Pankaj) stopped their car in front of her and Kuljeet dragged her into the vehicle and drove away. On the way, they gave her something to drink, following which she lost her conscious partially and Kuljeet raped her in the car, she said. The victim told the police she didn’t remember what happened after that.
