New Delhi - A woman was allegedly raped by three men in a car
that was driven through New Delhi before she was thrown out of the
vehicle in the city's suburbs, police said Tuesday.
The woman, aged around 35, was abducted by the men from New Delhi's
satellite city of Gurgaon on Monday night.
Police said the suspects sexually assaulted her in the car as they
drove through parts of the Indian capital and then threw her from the
vehicle in Noida, on the outskirts of New Delhi early Tuesday.
Local media reported that the woman was unconscious when she was
thrown from the car and the police was informed when a passerby
noticed her lying by the side of the road.
"The victim was taken to hospital for treatment and medical
examinations. She later accompanied police teams to the places she
was abducted from and where the crime took place," Noida police chief
Love Kumar said by phone.
"We have launched investigations on the basis of her complaint and
are trying to get the CCTV footage from these areas. No arrests have
been made yet," he added.
The assault raises fresh questions about the safety and security of
women in the Indian capital. Sexual violence has been a focus of
public attention in India since the gang-rape and murder of a student
in New Delhi in 2012. Despite the enactment of tougher laws, the
attacks on women have continued unabated.
