A 25-year-old girl was kidnapped and gangraped by three men in a moving car in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar area in the wee hours of Wednesday, said police. The accused were arrested within a few hours of the incident and sent to judicial custody.
The victim’s friend made a call to the police control room at around 3.30 am on Wednesday when the girl was abducted by three persons in a Volkwagon Polo.
According to the complainant, while they were walking towards Munirka at night, three men crossed them in the car. They suddenly pulled her friend inside the car. The victim’s friend tried to save her but they pushed her and drove off.
The victim who hails from Himachal Pradesh and currently residing in Munirka area was dumped near Poorvi Marg. According to a senior police official, “The complainant who made a PCR call managed to note down the registration number of the car. After finding out the whereabouts of the owner of the car, a police team reached Geeta Colony.” All the accused persons, identified as Udit Sehrawat, Vineet and Rajveer, were nabbed.
The victim told police she was gangraped by all three of them in the moving car and they also threatened her of dire consequences. She was spotted by a passerby who helped her in making a call to her friend who further informed police about her location.
A team immediately went to the place where she was abandoned and took her to the hospital where the medical examination confirmed rape.
“Although we have arrested the accused but we are probing the matter from all angles as recently we witnessed another gangrape case which turned out to be false. CCTV footage is also being looked into,” said police official.
