Chandigarh : A teenaged girl from Delhi, who is pursuing law degree from an all-women university in Haryana's Sonepat district, was allegedly abducted from near the varsity campus by four men and then gangraped, police said in Chandigarh today.
Three of the four accused, including a companion of a hostel mess contractor of the university, were later arrested from Haridwar, they said.
In her police complaint, the 19-year-old girl, pursuing BA-LLB course at Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya in Sonepat, said she was pushed inside a jeep by four youths on Wednesday morning when she had stepped outside the campus to purchase a notebook from a shop.
Incidentally, an all-women police station is located near the campus, which also has private security of its own.
"A case of abduction and rape had been registered against the three accused, arrested yesterday," Rohtak Range IGP Alok Mittal said, adding that search is on for the fourth accused.
They also alleged the hostel warden had tried to suppress the matter by dissuading the victim from lodging a police complaint.
Many agitating students told reporters that there was no proper security and eve-teasing was common.
Main opposition in Indian National Lok Dal condemned the incident, saying it was another example of increasing "lawlessness" in Haryana.
