Four persons have been detained for questioning over the robbery and alleged gangrape incident on the Yamuna Expressway, Jevar police said today.

Regarding the gangrape, the DSP said,”All victims have gone for medical examination and we have received the medical report. It can not be disclosed at this moment as investigations are still going on.”
