THE recent Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations for a 16-year-old girl turned into a nightmare when she was drugged and kept locked in a room as a sex-slave for 20 days, reported Harian Metro.
The victim's ordeal began when she agreed to attend a Hari Raya open-house celebration on Aug 31 with a man she had recently befriended.
The suspect picked the student up from her home in Dengkil, Selangor, at about 9.30pm and took her to a house in Bandar Mahkota, Cheras, for the celebration.
Following the celebration, the man in his 20s persuaded the girl to stay over for the night.
Later the suspect drugged and locked her in a room before raping her. Four of his friends also took turns to rape the teenager.
Her nightmare continued for almost three weeks before she managed to escape on Sept 19.
She lodged a report at the Seri Kembangan police station.
Kajang OCPD Assistant Commissioner Ab Rashid Ab Wahab said police had begun investigations to track down the five suspects.

Universiti Malaya's education and counselling department head Prof Jas Laile Suzana Jaafar said such trends should be addressed at an early stage to curb its spread.
The trend was highlighted by Raudhatus Sakinah Female Adolescent Guidance Centre managing director Rosmawati Zainal who said the sub-culture had made its way into the country three years ago.
> It was reported in the same daily that a 17-year-old had been arrested for molesting his stepmother at their home in Taman Bukit Pelangi, Subang Jaya, on Monday.
The incident was said to have occurred at 8pm after the teenager got into a heated argument with his 33-year-old stepmother.
The youth apparently turned aggressive and dragged his stepmother to the back of the home before molesting her.
Police detained him at the home after the woman, who was accompanied by her husband, lodged a report.
