A 17-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and gangraped by three persons, including a Bahujan Samaja Party MLA's son, police said.
The FIR, based on the complaint of the victim, was registered on Friday at a police station in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar against Naeem, son of BSP MLA Maulana Jameel Ahmad; Nauman, brother-in-law of the MLA and a third unidentified person.
According to the FIR, the minor was recently abducted by the trio from Basaira village and was taken to a nearby jungle where she was gangraped by them.
The accused had threatened to kill her if she revealed of the incident to anyone, police said.
The trio has been charged under Sections 376 (punishment for rape), 363 (punishment for kidnapping) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
Ahmed has denied the charges against his son and brother-in-law, saying it was a "political conspiracy" against him and they have been falsely implicated.
The girl has been sent for medical examination, police said, adding that none of the accused have been arrested.
