A 17-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and gang-raped after being forced to consume country-made liquor on the outskirts of Bhuj town in Gujarat's Kutch district, police said on Sunday.

Four persons have been arrested in connection with the crime, which took place on a farm at the foot of a hill in Bhujia area on March 16, Kutch West Superintendent of Police Saurabh Singh said. The teenage victim was found lying unconscious and rushed to a hospital by people residing in the vicinity, he said.

"She had gone to the farm with a friend, where the accused made her consume liquor and also had it themselves, following which they gang-raped her. Based on her complaint, four people were arrested," the SP said.

"The victim remembers one person raping her, after which she fainted due to the effect of liquor. A second person has confessed to raping her. A probe is underway to find out if the other two accused also raped her while she was unconscious," Singh added.
