Patna: In a horrific incident and a cruel reminder of 2012 gang-rape case in Delhi, a 21-year-old girl was raped at gunpoint in Motihari, Bihar.

According to News 18, pistol and wooden particles were found inserted in her private parts.

The girl has been hospitalised and her condition is stated to be critical.

One of the accused, identified as Samiullah, had allegedly molested the girl earlier too and made an MMS clip of the incident. When he tried to blackmail her, she hit him with a blade. This left the main accused infuriated and he, along with his aides, brutally raped the girl.

"They raped me and after that, they even beat me. Later their family members came and they also beat me up," the victim was quoted as saying by News 18.

The accused are absconding.

The case is reminiscent of 'Nirbhaya' who was gang-raped and brutalised on December 16, 2012, in a moving bus in New Delhi.
