A 26-year-old woman was allegedly killed after being gang-raped by three workers at EWS colony near Samrala Chowk late last night.

Station House Officer (SHO) Division No 7 police station Harpal Singh Grewal said all the three accused, Johar, Pappu and Balvir, have been arrested.

The three worked in a factory and were tenants in the victim's house.
The victim, mother of three daughters, was a patient of tuberculosis. She was married in Bihar and was visiting her parents along with her youngest daughter for treatment.

The incident took place last night when the victim's parents had left home to attend a wedding.
The victim's two brothers were at the house at the time of the crime.

The trio thought that the victim was alone and entered her room. They took her to the roof top.

In a statement to the police, the victim's brother said at 1.30 am, he heard some noise from the roof top and when he reached there, he was shocked to see the blood-soaked body of his sister.

His sister's one hand was chopped and clothes were tattered.
The body was sent to civil hospital for a post mortem.
