Seven months after a group of armed men barged into an iron factory in Pataudi’s Mandpura area and looted the place, while holding the workers hostage and gangraping two women, police has arrested four persons in connection with the crime. Police said the men have admitted to executing similar crimes in Haryana, UP and Rajasthan.

The incident took place on January 30. Gurgaon Commissioner of Police, Sandeep Khirwar, had set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident. According to police, for the last few months, the team had been rigorously questioning gangs operating in this manner in Haryana, Punjab, UP, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan.

“After pursuing several leads and gathering evidence, four people were arrested Wednesday,” said Khirwar. The accused have been identified as Dharmu alias Hemant, Munna alias Lucky, Lambu alias Teelu alias Vinay, and Rajbir alias Narsingh.

“They said they would loot and rob homes and farmhouses located near the highway in the cover of darkness, and often rape the women,” Khirwar said.
