NEW DELHI (AFP) - Delhi police have arrested four men for the alleged gang-rape and kidnap of a 24-year-old mother they were later caught driving through the city with, an official said on Thursday.

The incident, which happened on Wednesday night, comes less than two months after a fatal attack on a 23-year-old student who was gang-raped and violated with a rusty iron bar on a bus in Delhi.

The four men were driving through the city but failed to stop their car at one of the many new checkpoints set up after the December 16 attack.

"The accused refused to stop at the checkpoint and when the driver swerved past, the officers alerted the nearest police vans, which chased the car and nabbed the men," Assistant Police Commissioner Sanjay Sehrawat told AFP.
