Two Delhi women were allegedly raped in a moving car by unidentified persons in Gurgaon city in Haryana on Wednesday night.
A senior police official close to the investigation said on the condition of anonymity that the police has detained four suspects who are being interrogated in this respect.
Deputy commissioner of police (East Gurgaon) Maheshwar Dayal said that the two women had gone a pub in Gurgaon to attend a party on Wednesday night.
Both the victims reportedly work for a pub and live in Tughlakabad, Southeast Delhi. They had hired a cab for `300 to return home from Gurgaon at around 11.50 pm on Wednesday. However, two more persons got into the cab near IFFCO Chowk. The driver then took a turn and drove the car towards Faridabad.
“The victims have alleged that they were raped by the accused in the moving car,” said the police official.
When one of the accused got down from the car to answer the nature’s call at around 2 am, one of the victims managed to escape. She ran towards the nearby residential area where she found a security guard and narrated her ordeal to him. She took the security guard’s cellphone to call the police.
Meanwhile, the accused fled from the spot and dumped the other victim after two kilometres.
The police said that the victims were taken to a nearby government hospital where rape was established in their medical examination and an FIR was registered.
The car belongs to a private company. The police was busy conducting raids throughout the day to nab the accused.
“Acting on a tip-off, we were able to detain four suspects. The girls were raped by two accused while two other accused assisted them,” said the official.
No arrests have been made in this connection while further investigations are underway.
