Bikaner, Jan. 13 -- A class 12 student was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by two men inside a moving car in Rajasthan's Bikaner district, police said on Monday, adding that the suspects are on the run and efforts are being made to nab them.

According to the complaint, the 19-year-old student had left for school on the morning of January 6. Two accused intercepted her and abducted in a car and drove away. They allegedly drove around for several hours, threatening and raping the girl taking turns inside the moving vehicle, Gangashahar circle officer Himanshu Sharma said, quoting from the complaint.
