NEW DELHI: A 30-year-old woman of African-origin was allegedly gang-raped by four men in a car and later pushed out of the moving vehicle near Chilla border in east Delhi in the early hours of Friday. The police have arrested the four accused who were identified by the woman. Their car has been seized.

In her complaint, the woman said she was returning home from a farmhouse in Chhatarpur in south Delhi and had managed to reach Saket in an autorickshaw. While she was waiting for another vehicle, the men - identified as Rakesh, Sunny, Deepak and Johnson - approached her and offered to drop her home. She said she agreed to board the car, a Hyundai Accent , after which they drove around parts of south Delhi and took turns to rape her. The woman said she tried to raise an alarm but the men had gagged her.

They drove towards Noida through Ring Road to avoid a police picket. She said they stopped their car after reaching a spot just a few metres ahead of a police post near Chilla border and pushed her out before driving away. She managed to walk up to the guards at the border post and narrated her ordeal.

She was immediately taken to Mayur Vihar police station where a case was registered. She was admitted to the LBS Hospital nearby where she was treated for her injuries and later released.

Police said the woman provided them with the mobile number of Johnson and they managed to track him down to the Janta Flats in Mayur Vihar, Phase 1. The other three were arrested from a locality in Neb Sarai. During interrogation, they admitted to have offered a lift to the woman.

A case under Section 376 G (gang rape) has been registered against the men. Police said the woman claimed she was in India on a tourist visa.
