Jaipur: Three men have been arrested and five booked for allegedly being involved in the gang rape of a 32-year-old Dalit woman in Deedwana Kuchaman district of Rajasthan, police said Monday.

The case was registered against five people under section 376 (D) (gang rape) of the Indian Penal Code and sections of SC/ST Act.
Kishore Mali, Ramdev Thalod, and Tejpal have been taken into custody, while a hunt is on for the two accused still absconding, Poonia said.
The victim was presented in a court on Monday where her statement was recorded, he said.
