The victim “V” was abducted (on gun-point) by accused “A1”, accused “A2” and accused “A3”. She was kept at a village away from her home for a few days before they took her to another place (which was rented) away from that village. Here “V” was raped by “A1”. This case falls under the category of rape “against her will” because from the very beginning of the scenario, the victim’s ability to provide consent was taken away as she was abducted. Secondly, she was kept at a place which she was not familiar with, hence restricting her movement to “save herself”.

State of Punjab v. Gurmit Singh
A young girl below the age of 16 years was abducted from her school by the three accused in a car, and she was threatened with death if she raised an alarm. Despite her refusal she was made to drink liquor. Then she was raped by each one of them in turn under the threat of being killed if she persisted in raising an alarm. Due to the threat she kept quite. After repeatedly committing sexual assault on her, they left her the next morning near the place from where she had been abducted. Surprisingly, the additional judge, Ludhiana acquitted all the accused on both counts of abduction and rape disbelieving the version of prosecutrix regarding rape and because of delay in FIR. Allowing the State appeal, and holding the accused persons liable for rape since at no point of time the prosecutrix willingly cooperated with the act, the Apex Court held that the sexual intercourse was against her will for which the accused are liable for committing rape under section 376, IPC.
