A 17-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly abducted and raped by four persons in Rajasthan's Churu district when she had gone to relieve herself in a field last night, police said today.

The four persons abducted the girl and took her to their rented accommodation, where they allegedly raped her, police said.
The accused fled the spot. The girl was found lying unconscious by her family members, who informed police of the incident.
