New Delhi, June 16 (IANS): A 25-year-old woman returning home after watching a movie was abducted and gang-raped in a moving car here by three men, police said on Thursday. All three accused have been arrested.

The woman, accompanied by a female friend, was returning home after watching a movie at PVR Priya in Vasant Vihar in south Delhi around 3.15 a.m. on Wednesday when she was abducted. 

In her police complaint, the woman said the accused raped her inside the moving car before dumping her near Poorvi Marg in the Vasant Vihar area. 

The woman's friend made a call to the police control room immediately when the woman was kidnapped. She later told police that the two of them were walking towards Munirka when the three men riding a car approached them. 

"One of the men pulled my friend inside the vehicle and drove away," the police officer quoted her as saying. 

The car was traced since the victim's friend had noted down its registration number. 

"With the help of its registration number, we traced the car owner in Geeta Colony (east Delhi). The accused were arrested within hours after the medical examination of the woman confirmed rape," the officer said.

The accused were later sent in judicial custody by a local court.
