A 13-year-old girl has allegedly been gang-raped by three boys aged between 14 and 15 in Karnataka’s Hubballi, News18 reported citing police reports.

Authorities revealed that the incident occurred while the girl’s parents were away. The boys, who reside in the same locality, took the girl to an abandoned area where they sexually assaulted her.
