Khargone: At the time when the entire country is boiling over the Hathras gang-rape incident, a similar incident was reported in Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh, where three unidentified men allegedly gang-raped a minor girl, police said.
The incident was reported under the Chaipur police station limit in Khargone district on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday.
