Staff Reporter

The Delhi Traffic Police on Monday provided green corridor to the Unnao rape survivor from the IGI Airport to the AIIMS Trauma Centre for her speedy shifting to the hospital. According to a senior police official, the woman was brought to Delhi from Lucknow for further treatment.

"On the advice of the doctors of AIIMS, the journey of the ambulance carrying the injured person was facilitated by providing free passage. The ambulance left Terminal-1 of Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport at 9 pm and reached AIIMS Trauma Centre at 9.18 pm,"  the senior police officer said.

"She was brought to AIIMS Trauma Centre from Terminal-1 via Thimmaya Marg, Parade Road, GGR, Dhaula Kuan loop, Ring Road, Moti Bagh flyover, Hyatt flyover, under Raj Nagar flyover and Jhandu Singh Marg to the hospital through emergency gate," said the police official. According to sources, she was admitted in the ICU of Trauma Centre on Monday night and a team of doctors is monitoring her treatment.

The rape survivor, who suffered critical injuries in a car-truck collision last week, was being airlifted to New Delhi on Monday evening following Supreme Court directives in this regard.

She and her lawyer suffered critical injuries on July 28 when the car, in which they and two others were travelling, was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli. Two of her relatives were killed in the accident.  The CBI, which has taken over the investigation into the road accident,

has booked 10 people for murder, including Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is already in jail, charged with the rape of the Unnao woman in 2017 when she was a minor.
