A series of sexual assaults continue to plague Gujarat amid the ongoing Navratri festival. Soon after the Vadodara gang-rape shook the state, another gang-rape was reported from Surat’s Magrol.

According to initial reports, a minor, who went to meet a friend in Mangrol’s Mota Borsara village, was abducted by three people who arrived at her friend’s place and beat him up.

The minor was then taken to a deserted place and was allegedly raped by the three persons.

The Range IG, district police head, LCB, and SOG reached the scene as soon as they were informed about the incident. A dog squad was also deployed to help nab the accused. The police have also started to check the CCTV footages in the area. More details are awaited.

Earlier, in a similar incident in Vadodara's Bhayli, a minor was raped by three people at a deserted place. The incident created a statewide uproar and the accused were nabbed by the police in 48 hours.
