Three men allegedly kidnapped and raped a 22-year-old woman in a moving car in Gurugram and then threw her out on a road in Delhi on Sunday night. The incident took place around 2 am when the woman, who is from Sikkim, was returning to her house in Gurugram’s Sector 17 from Delhi’s Connaught Place, according to NDTV.
This comes days after the gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in Haryana’s Rohtak district, wherein the victim’s body was found in a decomposed and mutilated state
The police said the three men, on Sunday, had forced the 22-year-old into a Maruti Swift near her house and then took turns to rape her while driving to Delhi’s Najafgarh locality 20 km away from where they had kidnapped her, PTI reported.
They drove away after throwing her out of the vechile in the Southwest Delhi neighbourhood, where she approached bystanders for help. She then also informed the Delhi Police, which then passed the case on to the Gurugram Police.
According to her statement to the officers, two of her rapists had referred to the third man as Deepak. The police have registered a case against the trio. “We have identified a few vehicles on the basis of her statement and CCTV footage, and raids are being conducted at various locations to nab the accused,” a senior police officer said.
