Chhattisgarh: Ten held for raping two sisters in Raipur

The police on Friday arrested 10 men for allegedly gangraping two sisters, including a minor, in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur.

The assault took place late on Thursday night when the sisters – aged 19 and 16 – were returning with the elder one’s fiancé on a motorcycle from the Tumgaon village after celebrating the Hindu festival of Rakshabandhan.

Three of the accused intercepted them near Bhansoj and allegedly robbed them of cash and mobile phones. The other seven accused then reached the spot on four motorcycles and threatened the complainants, Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police Prashant Agrawal told The Times of India.
