NOIDA (HARYANA): In yet another case of atrocity on women, a woman was gang-raped and thrown out of a car in Greater Noida. Haryana police have launched an investigation, but no arrests have been made so far. The victim said she was kidnapped by three men, and was gang-raped in the moving car, to be later left out in Kasna area of Greater Noida.

Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Love Kumar said, “She has been sent for medical examination. One of our teams have been rushed to the spot in Haryana's Sohna.” While it was initially believed that the woman was abducted from Sohna, the police later clarified that she was picked near Gurgaon's MG Road Metro station and taken to Noida, then Greater Noida. The incident yet again draws light the lack of female safety in the national capital and areas around it. Gurgaon Police Commissioner Sandeep Khirwar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sumit Kuhar, and DCP (East) Deepak Saharan were present at the Sector 29 police station when the victim recorded her statement in the presence of a woman lawyer.

She said the men took turns to rape her in the moving car and after driving through Delhi, they reached Greater Noida where they threw her out in a dark spot before escaping. Suniti, Noida Superintendent of Police (Rural), said, “The victim has claimed that she was picked up at around 8.30 pm. She was allegedly raped in the car while the accused were driving around. A senior police officer said, “Some beer bottles were also found from the spot which indicates that the accused persons were inebriated at the time.”

Sources meanwhile, cited confusion regarding the case and said the matter needed to be probed further. A similar incident occurred earlier this month when three men allegedly gang-raped a woman after throwing her nine-month-old daughter off an auto-rickshaw, killing her, in Gurugram.
