A young woman has accused her husband and two of his friends of abducting and gang-raping her in a moving car and then dumping her in an unconscious state in East Delhi on Monday. Police have registered an FIR in this regard following the victim’s complaint and a manhunt has been launched for the trio which was on the run.
The victim, who claims to be 22-year old while her marriage certificate, puts her age to be 26, had a love marriage with her husband around a year ago. "They were neighbours and lived in East Delhi's Ram Nagar. However, things fell apart soon after the marriage and she started living separately in Shahdara area within one month of the wedding. The woman had even filed for divorce," said a police official.
The woman in her statement has told police that her husband and two of her friends had abducted her in a car on Monday evening when she was returning after shopping mall in Anand Vihar. “The trio took turns to rape her in a moving car and even inserted candles in her private part. Her husband taunted her during the act saying that she was being punished entangling him and his family into legal tangles,” said a police official quoting the victim’s complaint.
They then dumped her at an isolated spot and fled. The woman somehow contacted her family members after regaining consciousness who then took her to Anand Vihar police station. The woman was sent for a medical examination and treatment at Dr Hedgewar Hospital and an FIR has been registered. “The woman had also filed a case against her husband and his family in Ghaziabad’s Vijay Vihar area in March this year accusing them of kidnapping and attempt to murder,” the officer said.
