Teenagers held for Delhi rape

New Delhi (PTI): A 26-year-old housewife was allegedly gangraped by four teenagers in southwest Delhi, highlighting yet again the lack of security for women here.

All the accused have been arrested and sent to a juvenile home, police said on Friday.

The incident took place on Sunday when the victim was on her way to a relative’s house in Vasant Kunj with her younger brother.

The boys allegedly abducted them and took them to a nearby house where they assaulted her. The woman’s brother was kept tied up in another room.

The accused later released the victim and her brother after warning them not to go to the police. But her husband lodged a complaint.

The accused, aged 16 to 18, lived in the same locality as the woman and were arrested after she identified them.
