The accused are on the run, The Times of India publishes this report on Thursday.

The girl told the police that the accused Rohit, whom she knew through a friend, called around 8 pm that evening and asked her to come out and meet him.

The men then drove around in the area for half an hour with her in the car. They then turned towards the Dussehra ground near Pilanji village and drove to the parking lot, where the assault took place.
