A Ugandan woman was allegedly raped in Pune by two men who offered her a lift on their bike, police said on Tuesday.

The police told that the 28-year-old woman was approached by a man on a bike while she was waiting outside a restaurant in Koregaon around midnight on Monday.

In her complaint, the woman said that she accepted the lift but then the man called his friend and made her sit between them.

The woman tracked her location to home on her mobile phone and realised that the duo was taking her to a different place, the official said.

“Despite urging them to stop the motorcycle, they took the woman to a deserted place and raped her,” a police officer said.

As per the complaint, the woman urged the accused to drop her to the main road from the deserted spot where they left her after the rape, on which they agreed.

The woman raised an alarm when the bike approached the main road and the woman spotted a group of people.

“As the group started approaching the two-wheeler, its rider lost his balance, causing all three of them to fall,” he said, adding that the accused managed to flee.

The police are trying to scan the CCTV footage from near restaurants from where the woman claimed she was picked.
