On the pretext of helping them, they took the couple to the old campus of Jai Narayan Vyas University in the vicinity and took turns to rape her.
As morning walkers started reaching there, they ran away.
However, the boy sought the passersby help, who informed police.
The accused were identified as Samandar Singh from Barmer, a first year student of Jai Narayan Vyas University, Bhattam Singh, pursuing BEd from Ajmer and Dharm Pal Singh a PG student at JNVU.
All the three sustained injuries while attempting to escape from police. However, all of them were arrested.
Sources said that these students were accommodated by associates of Lokendra Singh, a student union leader who was expecting a ticket from ABVP.
Meanwhile, the ABVP has distanced itself from the accused.
In its statement, it said, “ABVP strongly demands swift action in the deeply tragic incident of gang-rape of minor in Jodhpur. The Congress-led Rajasthan government has completely neglected the security of citizens, especially women. It is essential to clarify that the accused in the mentioned incident have no association with ABVP.”
