A married mother of three children has been the victim of a brutal gang rape inside a moving van in India, in a horrifying attack that lasted for hours before she was dumped on the roadside.
The Horrific Nighttime Ordeal
According to police reports, the attack began overnight on Monday and continued into the early hours of Tuesday. The woman was waiting for transport to take her home in the city of Faridabad, which lies near the capital, Delhi.
A van stopped, and two young men inside offered her a lift, promising to drop her at her destination. Once she entered the vehicle, the situation turned violent. The men allegedly drove the van towards Gurgaon Road, where the woman was repeatedly raped.
Trapped for Two and a Half Hours
The victim was imprisoned in the van for approximately two and a half hours. During this terrifying ordeal, her attackers assaulted her and issued threats whenever she attempted to resist. The moving vehicle became a prison where she faced sustained sexual violence.
After the prolonged attack, the perpetrators threw her out onto the road, abandoning her. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and drawn intense media scrutiny.
Police Response and Arrests
Law enforcement authorities in India have confirmed that they have made arrests in connection with the case. The investigation is ongoing as they work to secure justice for the victim.
This appalling crime highlights ongoing concerns about violent sexual offences and women's safety in public spaces. It serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for effective policing and societal change to protect vulnerable individuals.
