Police said one of the girls, a 15-year-old schoolstudent, had been brutally assaulted and her private partsmutilated.
Referring to the case in which the 15-year-old girl fromKurukshetra district was sexually assaulted and murdered,Hooda said the incident was similar to the Nirbhaya case whichtook place in Delhi a few years back.
