Pregnant woman is gang-raped by eight men after they tied up her husband and locked him in a van
The 20-year-old woman, who is eight months pregnant, had travelled to Tasgoan, a city in the state of Mangarashtra, with her husband, a hotelier.
Police said the couple were looking to hire workers for their business, according to NDTV.
One of the alleged rapists, Mukund Mane, allegedly lured the husband to Turchi Pata by saying he knew someone who would take the job.

India has been shaken by a series of high-profile sexual assaults since 2012. Pictured, an activist holds a placard during a protest over the sexual assault of girls at a state-run home near Delhi
Ajay Sindkar, a police officer at the station, told the Times of India that four suspects allegedly assaulted the husband and locked him in his vehicle,
‘Four others took the woman to a nearby room, owned by one of the suspects, and raped her,’ he said.
He said the woman refused to undergo medical tests.
Three men have been detained in connection with the case, according to the Times.
India has been shaken by a series of high-profile sexual assaults since 2012, when a young woman was fatally gang-raped on a moving New Delhi bus.
That attack sparked protests calling for more protection for women, and harsher punishments for their attackers.
Since then, India's parliament has doubled prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalised voyeurism, stalking and the trafficking of women.
In April, India's cabinet passed an executive order making the rape of girls under 12 years old punishable by the death penalty.
But despite the increasingly stringent laws, women often remain relegated to second-class citizenship in Indian courts and police stations
