One of the family members, who managed to untie the ropes, reported the matter to police, Krishna said. STF teams have been pressed into action and are carrying out searches in Bulandshahr, Meerut and other states, he added. A group of bandits had waylaid the family, dragged the women, including the 13-year-old girl, to a nearby field and raped them while the men were tied with ropes, SSP Vaibhav Krishna said. A senior police officer said the family has identified the main suspect. The suspects are being interrogated in connection with the incident that took place on Friday night when a family was travelling from Noida to Shahjahanpur by car.
