The Delhi Police has arrested five men for allegedly gang-raping a 22-year-old woman and her 17-year-old niece after reportedly spiking their drinks with alcohol and driving them to a house in Lajpat Nagar on Saturday night, officers said on Tuesday.

According to investigators, the alleged incident took place at around 11 pm on Saturday when the woman and her niece were turned away from a nightclub near Defence Colony flyover because the niece was underage.

The victims, in their statement to the police, said that while they stood outside the club in Defence Colony, five men approached and offered to drive them to another nightclub in Malviya Nagar, where they claimed the two would be allowed entry, police said.
