A 40-year-old woman was allegedly gangraped by three men in a secluded area of Mehrauli in south Delhi on Thursday night. All the three accused, including an out-of-job blueline bus driver, have been arrested.
According to the police, the incident came to light when the woman reported the matter to the Mehrauli police late Thursday night. She told the police that, following differences with her husband, a resident of Fatehpuri in Mehrauli, she had been living with her brother in Ward No. 6 of Mehrauli for the past some time.
On Thursday night, she had an altercation with her brother over some issue following which she decided to leave his house in the night itself. She was apparently on her way to her husband’s house when three persons accosted her and took her to a secluded forest area in Mehrauli and took turns to rape her. The woman, somehow, managed to escape and reported the matter to the police. The police immediately traced the three accused, who used to live in the same locality, and arrested them. A medical examination of the woman also confirmed rape. Those arrested have been identified as Ravinder, Umesh and Sandeep, alias Sonu. All three accused are natives of Gohana village in Haryana’s Sonepat district, who were living in Mehrauli.
