A 21-year-old woman was allegedly abducted outside a restaurant in South Delhi and raped by three men in a moving car for almost two hours on Saturday before being dumped under a flyover, barely a kilometre from the Delhi Police Headquarters.
The victim claimed that the suspects were not known to her, but she managed to note down the registration number of the car in which the alleged crime took place.

The police subsequently traced and seized the grey Swift and are questioning its owner who has claimed innocence.
“The three suspects too have been identified, but are yet to be arrested. We have registered a case on the basis of the victim’s statement and are investigating the allegations,” said a senior police officer. The officer, however, refused to reveal the identities of the suspects, citing hindrance to the ongoing probe. Sources said at least one of the three is a foreign-returned youth.
The victim said she was on her way to a 24x7 restaurant around 1.30 am on Saturday when the car approached her. “Three men in the car asked the woman to get in. When she refused, one of them pulled her in and drove away,” said the officer, quoting the victim’s complaint.
They then allegedly took turns to her rape her for the next two hours before dumping her under a flyover in central Delhi’s IP Estate area. The victim immediately called the police who arrived at the spot to assist her.
Her statement was noted down and she was sent for a medical examination. Police said investigations into the incident continue.
