Gurgaon: Four men have been detained in connection with the rape of two Delhi women in a moving car in the satellite town of Gurgaon.
The two women, 26 and 27 years of age, had reportedly accepted a lift back to Delhi from a man driving a white sedan from outside a pub on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road after 1 am on Wednesday. They have allegedly told the police that enroute, two more men got into the car and then raped them in the moving vehicle.
It was only after about two hours that they allegedly managed to escape the car and called the police. A medical examination has confirmed rape and physical injury like bite marks on the arms, a senior Gurgaon police officer, Maheshwar Dayal said.
The police have identified the car, but the driver is absconding.
All the four men arrested are cab drivers employed with private
companies. The police suspect that two of them raped the women and the
other two are their friends and being held for questioning.
In December last year, a 23-year-old medical student was brutally gang-raped by six men in a moving bus in the heart of Delhi. Mortally wounded, she died in a Singapore hospital 13 days later. The case triggered protests across the country with angry students and others even clashing with the police as they demanded better security for women and swift justice for the student.
A mortified government rushed to design and implement a more stringent law against rape, but incidents of sexual assault on women have continued unabated in the National Capital Region or NCR as Delhi and its satellite towns are called.
