"Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad protested outside Bikaner House in Delhi against increasing incidents of crimes against women in Rajasthan. Demanding strict action against the accused in the Jodhpur gangrape case, the students condemned the Gehlot government's failure to stop the crime," ABVP Delhi State Secretary Harsh Attri said.

A 17-year-old Dalit girl who had eloped with her boyfriend was allegedly gang-raped by three college students in front of him in Rajasthan's Jodhpur in the early hours of Sunday, police said.

The three accused, who thrashed the victim's boyfriend before taking turns to rape the girl, were arrested hours after the incident, they said.
