Investigators said that the incident took place at around 4.30pm on Monday, as the victim was walking to her tuition centre, merely 800 meters from her residence in Gurugram's Sector 11.

The matter came to light when the girl, a Class 11 student at a private school in Gurugram, approached the police reporting the matter on Tuesday.

According to investigators, the two suspects-who were arrested later in the evening - had been communicating with the victim for two months on social media.
