In Indore district on Tuesday late night, miscreants brutally thrashed two young army officers and their two female friends who were on a picnic. It is also alleged that those miscreants raped one of the women.
Officials said that the two army officers had gone for a picnic with their two female friends on Tuesday. According to the report, the miscreants gang-raped one of the women at gunpoint. The officer was taken hostage and a ransom of Rs 10 lakh was also demanded. As soon as the police reached the spot, all the accused had escaped.

They started thrashing an officer and the women sitting in the car.
