Quoting the case statement, police said on the incident day, the young homemaker went to a waz mehfil (religious programme) with her husband.
While returning home around 12.30 am, a group of people held her husband hostage with sharp weapons.
The miscreants forcefully took her to a corn field and two of them raped her, added the statement.
Talking to the journalists, the husband alleged that although his wife was pregnant, the criminals gang-raped her.
"As the criminals are influential people in the village, they are yet to be arrested even after five days of the incident," said the man demanding punishment of the culprits.
However, doctors and police could not confirm yet whether the victim was pregnant.
OC Harunur Rashid said the criminals went into hiding after the incident.
