A 20-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly gangraped at gunpoint in the Jewar area of Greater Noida, police said on Tuesday.
The incident came to light on Tuesday when the woman complained to the police.
"Shalini (name changed) was sleeping on the terrace of her parent's house in Karoli locality of Jewar area on Monday night when two neighbourers, identified as Bunty and Bhura, raped her at gunpoint. She was sleeping alone as her parents were away and her siblings were sleeping inside the house," said Superintendent of Police Atul Saxena.
She narrated the ordeal to her parents when they returned home.
The woman, married about two years ago in Haryana's Palwal district, had come to her parents' home for the Rakshabandhan festival.
