Two young army officers were brutally assaulted and their friend was gang-raped at gunpoint in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, late on Tuesday evening. The attackers appeared to have set upon the group, which was out on a ride at night, with the intention of robbing them.
The police have arrested two of the attackers, one of whom was found to have a criminal record.
The two officers, who are training at the Mhow Army College near Indore, had gone with two women friends to a spot near the firing range at Chhoti Jam in the afternoon.
