Three men accused of a gang rape at Kalkaji Mandir in Delhi are a lawyer, a final-year BSc Mathematics student, and an onion wholesaler. According to police, the 17-year-old girl and her 17-year-old male friend visited the temple and the park on Monday evening. Three men posing as policemen separated the girl from her friend and allegedly threatened them, telling them they were doing something wrong.

The girl was taken to a secluded area in the park, where she was allegedly raped by Asif, who threatened her with a firearm and a knife. Hemant and Mukesh, the girl's brothers, allegedly assaulted her afterward. The girl reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of the three accused. The police have charged the men under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

The accused have denied the allegations, with the father claiming his sons were framed by the police. The incident has raised concerns about security at the park, which connects several prominent locations.
