A woman was gang raped and beaten up by three men in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district after which she fled nude to save herself from further atrocities.

The accused offered the woman a lift while she was waiting alongside the road to travel to a nearby village. She alleged that the men drugged her and took her to a forest.

The victim, who was beaten up for resisting after she was allegedly gang raped by three men in Shamli's Goharpur village, was being filmed as well by the accused. When she somehow managed to throw the phone away from her alleged rapists, one of the accused reached out to the phone.

It was then that the victim fled the crime scene and with the help of passers by, she reached out to the police and the women's helpline to come to her rescue.

The victim has been admitted in the district hospital. "Two accused have been arrested," SSP Shlok Kumar told news agency ANI, adding that the third absconding accused will be arrested soon.
