Five people have been arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur, the police said today.
The girl was in the Bagbera area of the city with a male friend on Tuesday when the accused kidnapped them at gunpoint and took them to Kaliadih Gaushala, Senior Superintendent of Police Tamil Vanan said.
The accused tied up her friend there and raped the girl, the official added.
Among those arrested is a minor who has been sent to a juvenile home, while the others were sent to jail, he said.
