Punjab: A minor girl was allegedly abducted and later gang-raped by five influential men in Chak district here, the police said on Tuesday.

The Class 10 student said that she was first kidnapped from the fields after which the men took her to their place nearby where she was gang-raped at gunpoint, reported Geo News.

The girl said that the suspects threatened to release the video clip of the alleged crime and make it viral. An FIR has been registered against the suspects.
