On Thursday, the woman in her complaint said that that two men allegedly dragged her into an SUV while she was waiting for transport on the Jaipur Road. She had gone to Ridmalsar Purohitan in Bikaner on September 25 to check on a plot that she owns.

They repeatedly raped her in the vehicle near some mines. Later, the accused called up six others who also raped her and then she was then taken to a government power substation in Palana village where more men allegedly raped her, the police said.

A case has been registered against two named suspects and 21 unidentified suspects. Police said that they recovered condoms from the spots the woman identified in her complaint.

The FIR mentions two mobile numbers that were dialed to call more men to rape the woman. She has also mentioned registration number of a vehicle, a report said.
