Bengaluru police have arrested nine persons for their alleged involvement in the alleged gang rape of three bar girls in Jnanajyothi Nagar near Mariyappana Palya in Bengaluru.

Last Thursday night, three bar girls are allegedly said to have been gang-raped by a gang numbering more than 10 people, who barged into their house near Kengeri.

The eight girls, all hailing from various cities of north India, including Punjab, Delhi and Maharashtra, were staying in a rented house for the past two months. All of them worked in a bar in the Majestic area. The girls stayed on the ground-floor, while two security personnel stayed on the first floor of the building.

A gang of more than 10 people came to their house after the girls returned home after work around midnight. On opening the door, the gang, armed with lethal weapons, barged into the house. The two security guards rushed to rescue the girls but the gang locked them up.

Police said the gang first asked for valuables. They took five gold rings, one gold chain, five cellphones, one LCD TV and 15,000 in cash. Then they allegedly sexually assaulted some of the girls. The gang allegedly bundled three girls into their Maruti Omni van and drove off.
