The cousin had gone to her house around midnight on Saturday and asked for some water, said Ravindra Singh, officer in charge of the police control room, according to a report by The Times of India.

"He went away after that but returned in a car with two friends and called her over the phone, asking her to step out of the house for a while, Singh said. Since they are close relatives, she thought nothing of it and went out to meet her, say police.

The trio forced her into the car and drove to a deserted area where they took turns to rape her, say police.  Madhya Pradesh Horror: Man Rapes 23-Year-Old Woman In Bhopal, Blackmails Her After Making Objectionable Video; Case Registered
