Ground Report | New Delhi: Army soldier raped woman; A 22-year-old woman was detained at her university in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar on the pretext of being dropped off at home on March 3, locked in a room in Delhi for nearly 48 hours and allegedly gang-raped by a 24-year-old army Jawan and four of his friends.
According to the Times of India report, the woman, a first-year master's student, and the main accused, the son of the Pradhan people, come from the same village and may have known each other, police said.
