In a shocking incident, a woman was abducted at gunpoint by two men from a railway station in Bihar's Patna and gangraped on late Tuesday night, the police said.
The gruesome incident took place at around 11:30 pm when the woman was waiting at the railway station. The two accused on a bike approached her. They brandished a pistol and abducted her.
The accused took the victim to a room near a station and allegedly raped her. Soon after the incident, she alerted a police patrol team.
She narrated the ordeal to the police, based on which an FIR was registered. Given the sensitivity of the matter, the police formed an investigation team immediately, which used technical and human surveillance and traced the location of the accused, according to a report by The Indian Express.

The police reached the spot and arrested both the accused while they tried to flee. The police have identified the accused as Sonu Kumar Yadav, alias SonuSanata, and Niranjan.
Sonu has a criminal history and has been named in eight cases across several police stations. The Indian Express quoted Patna Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) Vikram Sihag, saying, "He has been named in eight previous cases registered across Fatuha, Barh, Khusrupur, and Jakkanpur police stations. These include charges related to extortion, armed assault, and criminal conspiracy. With this gangrape case, the total number of cases against him has risen to nine".
The police also uncovered an extortion network to which the accused were connected. "We have received indications that they may have extorted money under the guise of land dealings. If anyone has been coerced into paying them, we will take applications from them as well and initiate legal action accordingly. The accused will be taken on remand for further interrogation," the SP said.
