16-yr-old abducted, raped in moving car; hunt on for two
Mohali, July 26 -- A 16-year-old girl was allegedly abducted, raped in a moving car, and later dropped back near the spot from where she was picked up near Metro Mall on VIP Road, Zirakpur, police said on Friday.

The mother also alleged that she repeatedly requested the staff to allow her to stay with her daughter during the medical examination, but they didn't let anyone in. "She's a minor and was already traumatised, which made it even harder for her," the mother said.
Zirakpur superintendent of police (SP) Jaspinder Singh denied any delay or misconduct. "The medical examination was done in time. There was no lapse in staff duty. We are investigating all aspects and will ensure a fair probe."
Civil surgeon Dr Sangeeta Jain said the girl's medical examination was completed on time at Dhakoli hospital. But reports take time, sometimes even a month, she said....
