In the Gwalior area of Madhya Pradesh, three men gangraped a fifteen-year-old girl at gunpoint in front of her parents.

The event happened on Monday night in the Bhanwarpur area, but a complaint wasn’t made until Wednesday.

Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Rishikesh Meena said that two days later, out of the three suspects, one had been taken into custody by the police.
