Pune/IBNS: Seven men have been arrested for allegedly kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl in Maharashtra's Pune, the police said on Monday.
The girl has been admitted to a hospital and is currently undergoing treatment.
On Aug 31, the victim was waiting outside the Pune Railway Station for her friend, when an auto-rickshaw driver spotted her.
