Recounting her four-hour-long horror on May 29, when she was gang-raped by three men in the industrial area of Manesar, the victim told reporters that she didn’t realise her baby was dead when she picked her up.
“The three men were drinking beer and approached me in a tempo, asking where I was going alone. They started attacking me... When my child started crying, they tried to smother my baby. And then they threw her on the
footpath. I requested them to stop, saying my child is crying. After that they raped me on the road.”
After the men left the spot, the victim went back to the spot where they had flung the baby, picked her up and went to a hospital where doctors declared her dead. It was a new day by then.
Unwilling to give up, the young mother picked up her baby, travelled in the Metro with the body to take her to a hospital in Delhi. “I did not believe my daughter had died and I travelled with the dead child to a hospital in South Delhi’s Hauz Rani area and later returned to MG Road Metro Station with the body,” she said.
