Bijnor, May 16: In a horrifying incident in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor, six men from a neighbouring village allegedly gang-raped a young woman who had gone to meet her fiancé. The assault took place late Saturday night around 10 PM, when the woman was speaking with her fiancé near a field close to her home. According to the police complaint, six men from a nearby village suddenly appeared, attacked the couple, and brutally beat the fiancé.
