Satnali: The remaining two of the three main accused in the Rewari gang-rape case have finally been nabbed. Accused Manish and Pankaj were caught in Satnali village of Mahendragarh district in Haryana on Saturday. 

The two have been lodged in the Nahar Rest House for now. The mastermind of the incident, Nishu Phogat, was apprehended earlier last week. The trio allegedly abducted the woman from a bus stop and raped her in Haryana's Mahendargarh district on September 12. 

Out of the three accused, Pankaj is an Army man and was posted in Rajasthan. Haryana DGP BS Sandhu said all the three accused were known to the victim. 

According to the complaint, the woman was kidnapped by the accused, who arrived in a car. The victim was taken to a secluded place where she was raped after she consumed a drink laced with sedatives. The accused left her near a bus stop in Kanina later in the day.

The father of the young woman, a school topper who was felicitated by the government, told reporters on Friday that she could have been raped by 8-10 people.
