A 32-year-old woman has alleged that she was kidnapped and gangraped by five men in South Delhi’s Khanpur area late on Saturday night.
According to the police, an auto-rickshaw driver who had dropped the woman near Moolchand saw that she was dragged inside a Santro car by five men, following which he made a PCR call.
In a statement to the police, the woman, a resident of Uttam Nagar alleged that she was kidnapped from Moolchand flyover around 2.45am by five men in a white Hyundai Santro car and taken to Khanpur. She alleged that the men took her to a house in Dakshinpuri where they took turns to rape her and then dumped her near Pushp Vihar.
“The auto driver, Sonu, told us that he dropped the woman near Moolchand from where she was abducted. Sonu had picked up the woman from a banquet hall in Uttam Nagar, where she worked as an attendant. He said he used to ferry the woman often. He made a PCR and also informed about the registration number of the car after which a team swung into action to find the woman,” police said.
The woman was then found walking near Pushp Vihar in Dakshinpuri from where she was taken for a medical examination and her statement was also recorded.
Following the complaint, a raid was conducted at the house and three men were arrested. The accused have been indetified as Akash (26), Deepak(32) and Aman (20).
Another of their associate, Rohit (25), was arrested later, police said. A case under section 376 G (gangrape), 365 (abduction) and 341 (illegal confinement) of the IPC was registered after the medical examination confirmed rape, police said.
“We are yet to establish the sequence of events. We have recorded the statement of the woman and the auto driver and are investigating the case,” police said.
