Two Thane men took a 16-year-old girl - who was known to them - out to celebrate "Friendship Day" on Sunday, and allegedly gang-raped her, the police said on Monday. The accused, aged 18 and 22, took the survivor on a two-wheeler to an abandoned room, near a fish hatchery in Dombivili, and allegedly committed the crime.
