In a sensational incident near Coimbatore International Airport in Tamil Nadu, a college student was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by three unidentified individuals. The victim was found severely injured and naked in an empty plot behind the airport. The incident occurred late Sunday night, after which the police registered a case and intensified their search for the accused.

Victim's Friend Attacked with Weapon

According to police sources, the student, who is pursuing a degree at a private college in the city, was talking to her friend in her car in a deserted area behind the airport around 11 PM. Suddenly, three assailants approached the car, attacked the victim's friend with a sharp weapon, and forcibly dragged the student into the darkness. The accused then took turns raping her before fleeing, leaving her in an injured state.
