The spate of violent crimes against women shows no sign of stopping in Delhi. In the latest reported incident, a 19-year old girl Ghaziabad has stated that she was gangraped by three men with whom she was sharing an auto. The incident took place on 2 March.
According to IBN-Live, the girl said she was taken to an isolated area near Dasna in Ghaziabad and gangraped. According to her complaint, the autorickshaw changed direction and moved towards Dasna.
The woman had walked to the Masuri police station after the incident and told police personnel what had happened.
An FIR has been filed in regard to this case and two men who have been charged with rape, abduction and robbery.
“Around 10.30 pm, they left her in a field in Masuri and fled with her wallet and her mobile phone, police told the Indian Express.
“We tracked the accused using the woman’s mobile phone. Ankit and Dabban, both residents of Masuri, have been arrested and remanded in custody. The third man, Vikram, is absconding. They stole the auto on March 2. While the medical examination of the woman is inconclusive on rape, we have registered a case based on the complaint of the woman”.
According to a recent report, Delhi has witnessed around four rape cases a day in 2013, almost double the rate in 2012. The city witnessed a total of 181 rapes between 1 January and 15 February, Minister of State for Home Affairs Mullappally Ramachandran had told Rajya Sabha in a written question.
The number by itself is very high given that it has only a little over three months since the national capital was rocked by protests after the horrific Delhi gangrape case.
