NEW DELHI, Oct. 24 -- In yet another shocking incident, a minor girl was allegedly gangraped by three men on a moving car in the Indian capital late Tuesday night, a senior police officer said Thursday.

"The 17-year-old girl was offered a lift by a 22-year-old man and two of her friends in their 20s for a drive. She was first given sedative-laced drinks and then gangraped at an isolated place by the trio in a posh area in the south of the national capital," he said, on condition of anonymity.

One of the three accused has been arrested after the girl lodged a complaint Wednesday, the officer said, adding that a massive manhunt was underway to nab the other two men.

This gangrape came barely two months after a fast-track court sentenced to death four men -- out of six -- for the brutal and fatal gangrape of a 23-year-old medical student in the Indian capital in December last year.

The main convict committed suicide during the trial while the sixth one being a minor was asked to undergo three years in a reforms facility.
