Faridabad (Balwinder Singh): Faridabad authorities have arrested two men accused of gang-raping a 25-year-old woman and abandoning her on the road, resulting in serious head injuries. The victim is currently undergoing treatment at Badshah Khan Hospital.
Police said the woman, who had been staying at her parents’ home following a marital dispute, visited a friend’s residence in Sector 23 on Monday evening. While returning late at night, she traveled by auto-rickshaw to NIT 2 Chowk and walked to Metro Chowk to catch transport to Kalyanpuri.
According to officials, around midnight, two men in a van offered her a ride. Instead of taking her to her intended destination, the suspects drove her to Gurugram Road, where she was allegedly raped and held inside the vehicle for several hours. She was later thrown onto the road near Raja Chowk at approximately 3 am, sustaining severe injuries. The victim managed to contact her sister, who immediately took her to the hospital for treatment.
An FIR was registered at Kotwali police station based on the victim’s family statement. Faridabad crime branch officers from Sector 48 arrested the two accused, who are originally from Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh but reside in Faridabad. Authorities have also recovered the Maruti Eeco van reportedly used in the crime.
A Faridabad police spokesperson stated, “Both accused have been apprehended and are under questioning. The investigation is ongoing, and the victim is receiving medical care.”
