A 21-year-old pregnant woman has been allegedly gang-raped by an auto-rickshaw driver and his two accomplices in Manesar here.
The woman, who is over two months pregnant, told the police that she was on her way home in the auto-rickshaw on May 21 afternoon when three men in the vehicle force-fed her a sedative and gang-raped her.
A native of Uttar Pradesh, the woman works as a labourer at a company in Manesar. In her complaint to the police, the woman said the company’s staff took her to a hospital in Manesar Sector 3 on May 21 around 2.30 p.m. after she felt giddy at work and her husband was also informed. She then decided to go home. While her husband left on a bicycle, he asked her to take an auto. “There were already five-six persons in the auto, but three of them got down after travelling some distance. Now only the auto driver and two more persons were left. After travelling some distance the driver lowered the curtains of the auto and the duo gave me some drug. When I regained consciousness, I found myself at an isolated place and my clothes in disarray. I felt severe pain as well,” said the woman, in her complaint.
The woman then informed her husband with the help of passers-by. On May 23, she was taken to hospital, which informed the police and a case was registered on Friday.
The police said the matter is under investigation.
