According to the police complaint, the woman alleged that the two men hired her auto-rickshaw by posing as travellers from Bulandshahr and claimed they were affiliated with the defence forces. During their conversation, they offered assistance in securing school admission for the woman’s daughter.

Initially, the complainant dropped them near Baluganj in Agra. The men later contacted her again and requested another ride within the city on Thursday evening. She was called to the hotel where they were staying and was allegedly gang-raped at gunpoint.

The police have launched further investigation into the incident and are verifying the identities and claims made by the accused.
