The 17-year-old girl has been admitted to Bhartiya Hospital in Churu where her situation is stated to be critical.
Four people allegedly abducted and raped a 17-year-old Dalit girl in Rajasthan’s Churu district when she had gone to relieve herself in a field on Tuesday night, police said on Wednesday.
Enraged over the incident, a group of people protested outside the Sadulpur police station and vandalised a government hospital.
The four people abducted the girl and took her to their rented accommodation, where they allegedly raped her, police said.
The accused fled the spot. The girl was found lying unconscious by her family members, who informed the police of the incident.
She was rushed to the Sadulpur government hospital, from where she was referred to Bhartiya Hospital in Churu.
