The incident took place when the girl, a resident of Gautam Buddh Nagar district's Dastampur village, near Jewar, was returning home on August 24, the police said.
"She had gone for sewing classes near her home and the two accused came on a motorcycle and kidnapped her. They also forced her to have alcohol and beat her up when she resisted," said SS Bhati, a police official.
"The duo raped her and the next morning dumped her outside her house in Dastampur village," he said citing the complaint made by her father.
