NEW DELHI: Two people were arrested for allegedly raping an 18-year-old girl in Mahipalpur , southwest Delhi.

The girl said that the two men, who belonged to Assam , were her friends and had confined her in a rented room in the area on Friday.

The incident was reported on Saturday morning when some cops spotted the girl roaming around aimlessly in the area. On questioning, the girl narrated the whole incident to them.

A Class X student, the girl said she had befriended one Rahul (20) in Assam a few months back and had decided to go on a trip with him to Kerala on February 9 without informing her family. After coming back from Kerala, Rahul introduced her to Haroon (20), his friend. Haroon took them to the rented accommodation in Mahipalpur.

On Friday, Rahul and Haroon entered her room and forced themselves on her, the girl said.

She started calling for help. When her cries grew louder, the two men fled the spot. She waited for them for a few hours and then decided to inform the police.

On the girl's complaint, cops arrested Rahul and Haroon from their friend's house in Mahipalpur, while they were planning to escape. They were taken into custody and produced before a magistrate on Sunday.
