A 15-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped by two men on Thursday at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur district, the police said on Friday.
The incident took place on Thursday night when the girl had gone to a field, said police officer Ashok Kumar.
Two persons identified as Govind Balmiki, 19, and Ajay alias Shiv-Bodhan, 30, raped her in the field, he added.
