“She has sustained several serious injuries,” Kumar said.

Narrating her ordeal, the woman told the police that on April 1, around 11pm, five persons—Dalip alias Billu, Roop Chand, Vikas, Morsim and Akil—knocked on the door of her residence in DLF Phase V. When she opened the door, Dalip began to abuse her.

Soon the men overpowered her. She was then gagged and her hands were tied. She was transported from her house by an auto-rickshaw to the room in Wazirabad, the woman alleged.

After that she was allegedly repeatedly raped in the room for three days by Dalip, police said.

The police investigation revealed that the accused used to keep the room locked from outside and they were on guard round the clock to prevent the woman from escaping. Kumar said that Dalip had offered her Rs 1 lakh if she agreed to stay with him for life.

A neighbour of the victim said that the woman had given a loan to one Altaf who later refused to return the money.

Altaf allegedly harassed the woman for days and later asked Dalip, a notorious criminal of the area, to “teach the woman a lesson”. It was then that Dalip and his accomplices reportedly got involved and committed the crime.

The Gurgaon Police has registered an FIR against all the accused under several relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) with the Sushant Lok police station.

After rescuing the woman, police teams raided several possible hideouts and arrested the accused persons from a house in the same village. The accused persons have admitted to committing the crime, the police said.

Pataudi rape victim pregnant

By Ajay Kumar

An MA student in Pataudi who was gang-raped earlier this year only narrated her ordeal to her parents and police when she found out she was two months pregnant.

The student was allegedly gang-raped by three youths on January 30 this year. However, she had remained tight-lipped about the incident because the rapists had threatened her with dire consequences if she narrated the incident to anyone.

However, it wasn’t until April 3—when her conditioned deteriorated and she had to be admitted to a local hospital—that the family found out about her pregnancy.

During the course of the medical examination, the doctors informed her that she was two months pregnant. When the victim learnt of this, she finally broke her silence. As per the complaint lodged with the local police, a youth named Himanshu, who had been living in the victim’s neighbourhood for some months, had promised to arrange a job for her.

When the victim met him on January 30, Himanshu and his two friends offered her a drink laced with sedatives. After she become unconscious, the accused drove her to an isolated spot in Rewari and allegedly took turns to rape her, Gurgaon ACP (Crime) Mamta Kharab said.

However, when the victim failed to regain consciousness, the rapists got scared and took her to a local hospital. The accused then called up her father, informed him that his “unwell” daughter was “admitted” in a hospital, and fled.

In what can be termed as medical negligence or a promise doctors made to the victim, the father was not told that his daughter had been raped. It was only when her conditione deteriorated again this month that the family found out the truth.

“The victim’s father has now approached the police and registered an FIR against Himanshu and the two others. We have arrested Himanshu, and are looking for the other two accused persons,” Kharab said.

Meanwhile, family members of the main accused, Himanshu, are putting pressure on the victim’s family to withdraw the case.

After two Dalit women were allegedly beaten up by sub-inspectors at a police station on Friday, four police personnel have been suspended from duty.

However, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Rakhi Bidlan is not satisfied with the action taken against the officers and has demanded that all the officers involved be sacked immediately.

Terming the incident “barbaric”, Bidlan alleged that the girls were stripped and “mercilessly beaten up by men and women police officers for hours”.

“All four of them should be dismissed from service and made to face criminal charges as well,” she said.

Bidlan said she would even take up the matter with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi.

The two women, in their complaint, alleged that sub-inspector-level officers thrashed them in an attempt to force them to confess to a case of robbery.

Giving details on the incident, the victims’ mothers, who live in Mangolpuri, said that around four months back, the owner of the firm where their daughters work had filed a case of theft against them.

“Despite the fact that the police had already quizzed both the girls in the past, they called our daughters again this Friday around 9.30am and tortured them till 5pm. Our daughters are not in a condition to even move now,” one of the victim’s mother said.

“A departmental inquiry has been initiated, and investigation is underway,” Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said.
