Faridabad: A 25-year-old married woman was allegedly gang-raped in a moving van here and later thrown onto the road, sustaining serious head injuries, police said on Wednesday.
Two people have been arrested in connection with the alleged rape, police said.
The incident occurred late Monday after the two accused offered her a lift while she was waiting for transport. Instead of taking her to her destination, the duo drove towards Gurugram and raped her inside the car, police said.
Police said the woman was driven around through the night and thrown out of the vehicle that was moving at a speed of over 90 kmph near Raja Chowk at around 3 am.
She suffered severe injuries to her face and head and required more than 12 stitches. Her condition is critical, and she is not yet fit to record a statement, a police officer said.
According to the complaint lodged by the woman’s sister, she was staying at her parents’ house due to marital discord. She had gone to her friend’s house in Sector 23 on Monday evening, and while returning late at night, she was offered a lift by the accused.
The woman managed to call her sister, who reached the spot and took her to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital. Given the seriousness of her injuries, the doctors advised that the woman be taken to Delhi, but the family admitted her to a private hospital in Faridabad.
“My sister was badly injured after she was thrown out of the vehicle. Considering her condition, we decided to admit her to a private hospital,” the victim’s sister said.
The accused are natives of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, currently living in Faridabad. They are not known to the woman, and their identities would be revealed once a test identification parade is conducted, police said.
The van used in the crime has been seized, and the accused have confessed to the offence, police said.
“We have nabbed the accused and are questioning them. They will be produced before a court. Since a test identification parade is yet to be conducted, the names and photographs of the accused cannot be disclosed at this stage,” Yashpal Yadav, the spokesperson of Faridabad police, said.
