 Today's Highlighted Video Story: A teenager in Hyderabad who went to a pub for a party was allegedly gang-raped by schoolboys inside a Mercedes car at an upscale part of town last Saturday. The accused are Class 11 and 12 students and belong to "politically influential" families, say the police. An MLA's son is believed to be part of the group, but the police say he may not have been involved in the gang-rape.
