In a shocking incident, a 23-year-old woman was gang raped by three men inside a temple in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district on Monday. The police have arrested all the three accused.

According to a TOI report, the woman went to meet her boyfriend in an isolated area in Patlawad village near Dhammod where one of the accused approached her and advised her to go inside the temple for safety concerns on the pretext of raping her along with his friends.

"She came by bus to settle a lovers' quarrel and was waiting near the temple, close to a stone mine, when one of the accused approached her, asking why she was all alone," said Dhamnod police station in-charge Mohan Jat.

One of the rapist, who spotted the girl standing alone in the isolated area, advised the college girl to go inside the temple for her own safety. As soon as she entered the premises of the temple, he was quick to lock the channel gate to the temple and inform two others. All the three took turns to rape her and left her inside the temple after the act and fled away.

The victim then called one of her friends who then informed the police.

Despite the trauma, the victim managed to catch a glimpse at one of the accused' motorbike and informed the police that he had a sticker named 'Sanju Baba' stuck to his vehicle.

The police then immediately tracked down the accused with the details provided by the victim and arrested 30-year-old Sanjay Patel in the rape case.

Upon bringing him to the police station, Sanju broke down and confessed his crime. He also named two of the others, Akhilesh Patel and Mahadev Patidar, involved in the crime.

The temple where the rape took place is currently under construction and an idol of Lord Shiva is yet to be placed inside the premises.
