A 20-year-old newly-married woman was gang-raped by four men here, police said Wednesday. Two of the accused have been arrested.
The incident happened at Gokalpuri area in east Delhi Saturday.
"The victim, a native of Bihar came to Delhi with her husband a few days ago. Two men, Digambar and Ravi assured her husband that they will get him employed in a factory," said a police officer.
On Saturday, the duo called the couple to a house in Gokalpuri area, where two other men were already present, and kept them hostage. They raped the woman and threatened the couple of dire consequences if they told anybody about the assault, the victim told police in her complaint.
The couple later approached the police and Digambar and Ravi were arrested Wednesday, the officer added.
