Pune:

A 28-year-old Ugandan woman was allegedly raped by two men who offered her a lift on their bike in Pune, the police said on Tuesday.

The woman was approached by a man on a bike while she was waiting outside a restaurant in Koregaon around midnight on Monday, the police said.

In her complaint to the police, the woman said that she accepted a lift from the man but then he called his friend and made her sit between them.

When the woman tracked the location of her home on her mobile phone, she realised that the men were taking her somewhere else, the official said.

"Despite urging them to stop the motorcycle, they took the woman to a deserted place and raped her," a police officer said.
