A 28-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped inside a moving van for more than two hours in Faridabad before being pushed out onto the road in the early hours of Tuesday, according to police.
The incident took place on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday when the married woman was waiting for transport to return home late at night. According to the police, a van stopped near her and two men offered to drop her home. Trusting them, she boarded the vehicle, which instead headed towards the Gurgaon Road.
Investigators said the woman remained inside the van for nearly two-and-a-half hours, during which the accused repeatedly sexually assaulted her. Despite her resistance, the men allegedly continued the assault and issued threats to silence her.
At around 3 am, the accused reportedly pushed the woman out of the moving van near Raja Chowk in SGM Nagar. She sustained serious facial injuries and was found bleeding heavily.
The woman managed to make repeated calls to her sister, who learnt about the assault after returning the call. Family members rushed to the spot and took her to a hospital, where she was admitted in critical condition. Doctors reportedly administered 10 to 12 stitches to her face.
Hospital sources said the woman is now stable but remains traumatised. Her statement has not yet been recorded by the police.
In her complaint, the victim’s sister stated that the woman had spoken to her around 8.30 pm the previous evening, saying she had an argument with their mother and was heading to a friend’s house, assuring that she would return within three hours.
Police said the woman is married, has three children, and has been living separately from her husband following a domestic dispute.
Both accused have been arrested, and the van allegedly used in the crime has been seized. Police said further investigation is underway.
