Gautam allegedly threatened the girl, stating that If she refused to engage in physical relations with them, they would record a video of her and make it go viral. Later, Gautam left the room, and they both allegedly raped her, the police said.
"The SHO of Tanda police station, Inspector Onkar Singh Brar, has stated that the police arrested Gautam and Gurpreet Singh, alias Gopi, today. Raids were also conducted to locate their third accomplice.
