GURUGRAM: A Delhi resident (42) was allegedly gang-raped — first in a room and then in a moving three-wheeler — by at least five men after she got off a bus and boarded an auto-rickshaw near Manesar on NH-8 on Saturday afternoon. She was dumped in an unconscious state behind a dhaba on the expressway over 12 hours later early Sunday.The incident comes as a horrific reminder of a similar case, wherein three men had raped a 19-year-old woman and killed her eight-month-old baby in Gurgaon on May 29 last year.The police have arrested five auto drivers, including the main accused who had first picked her up, while search is on to nab a sixth accused in this latest case.Her hours-long ordeal began after she took an auto-rickshaw from Nakhrola Chowk on NH-8 around 2.20pm to reach the company in IMT-Manesar her late husband worked with. Police said the woman had come to the city by bus to settle some financial issues with the company, where her husband used to work as a contractor. He had passed away in 2013.Apart from the driver, who was later identified as Ankit, another auto driver Deepak was also in the auto.Instead of taking her to IMT-Manesar, Ankit drove her to Deepak’s room at Bhangrola, around 4km from the pick-up spot on NH-8. A third man was already waiting there. Ankit and Deepak took turns to rape her several times, while the third man molested her. Her suffering did not end there.Around 9pm, Ankit and Deepak put her back in the auto and drove her to Rampura mod near NH-8, where they handed her over to two other auto drivers. The two then called another men. While one drove the auto around the area for over an hour, the two others men raped her in the auto.Finally, those men dumped her behind a dhaba near Rampura flyover past midnight. She was unconscious and had lost her mobile phone during the nightmarish trip. It was early on Sunday when a passerby spotted her and took her to police.Based on the woman’s complaint, police arrested Ankit, Deepak, Mahipal, Ajit and Sunnu on Sunday. While Deepak hails from Bhangrola, the other four belong to Rampura village. All of them are auto drivers and in the age group of 24-27 years, said police.An FIR has been registered under sections 376-D (gang rape), 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC at the women’s police station, Manesar. Police are conducting raids to nab the sixth accused, who is still absconding. They said a seventh person might also be involved in this horrific case. The two auto-rickshaws used in the crime have been seized.“We are questioning the men to find out their roles in the crime. We have identified a couple of others and are conducting raids to nab them. They will also be arrested soon,” said inspector Kanta Yadav, SHO, the women’s police station, Manesar.On May 29, 2017, an eight-month-old girl died after she was snatched from her 19-year-old mother’s arms and thrown out of a moving auto in Gurgaon by three men who were making sexual advances at the woman.The baby had died of head injuries. The 19-year-old, a resident of Manesar, was forced to get into an auto around midnight after she had decided to spend the night at her in-laws’ place on Khandsa road following a fight with her neighbours. Her husband was away for work.Later, she had taken a metro ride with her dead baby in her arms from Gurgaon to Delhi in her last-ditch effort to save the girl, but in vain. The police had filed a complaint only after she returned to Gurgaon again with her dead baby.Three men were later arrested by police from Gurgaon and UP following widespread outrage at the savagery. The police had admitted to lapses in the investigation and one woman sub-inspector was suspended for delay in registering an FIR.
