The Punjab Police today claimed to have arrested six people allegedly involved in a gang-rape of a woman during a robbery attempt at a metal factory at Mangli village here.
The 33-year-old woman was living in the factory with her labourer husband and other family members, the police said.
The accused allegedly held other members of the family captive and raped the woman on Tuesday, Commissioner of Police (CP) Sukhchain Singh Gill said, adding that the nine member gang also robbed metal worth Rs 10 lakh from the factory.
Six of the accused were arrested while three managed to flee the spot, Gill said.
The arrests were made by a police team which intercepted their mini truck at a check post here, he said.
All the accused were from neighbouring states, the CP said.
