The police on Thursday dismissed as "false" a Delhi woman's claim that she had been gang-raped and brutalised by five men in Ghaziabad.

Police claimed that the entire "conspiracy" was hatched to grab property over which the woman had a dispute with the accused.

Three people who helped the woman with the plan have been arrested, police said.

The woman had claimed that she was raped by five men for two days.

Following the incident, the Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal also claimed that the 36-year-old woman was found wrapped in a jute bag, with her hands and legs tied, and an iron rod was inserted in her private parts.

The police are still interrogating the four people who had been taken into custody.
