In a disturbing incident in Sonipat, a 19-year-old woman was raped by three youths who had deceptively promised her a ride home. Instead of taking her to her destination, they took her to a secluded spot, where the crime occurred, according to police statements made on Sunday.

The incident took place on January 16 when the woman was waiting for an auto ride at ITI Chowk. A young man from her village, accompanied by two others, offered a lift. The group purchased liquor during the journey, consumed it, and later forced the woman to drink before committing the heinous act, officials reported.

Following her complaint, a First Information Report was registered. Bahalgarh Station House Officer Mahesh Kumar confirmed the arrest of one suspect, with efforts ongoing to capture the remaining culprits. The accused, aged between 20-25, face severe charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
