A woman was allegedly gangraped at gunpoint and looted by a cab driver and his associate in Greater Noida between late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.
On November 14, the 21-year-old woman took a cab at midnight near Ansal Plaza near Hauz Khas to go to Rohini. The driver allowed another person to board the cab and both started misbehaving with the woman, according India Today.
The woman was then taken to Greater Noida where the driver and his associate allegedly raped her at gunpoint. The accused also took away her gold ornaments, cell phone and Rs 12,000 cash and dropped her near Greater Noida and fled away. According to the family and friends of the woman, the two men also made a video recording of the rape and threatened to make the footage public if she approached the police.
According to the India Today report, the woman somehow managed to reach her home in Rohini at 5 am on Wednesday, and informed her family about the incident.
The family then made a PCR call to the KN Katju Marg police station but since the woman was allegedly abducted up from Hauz Khas, a case was registered at a different police station that had jurisdiction over the area.
"We have registered a case of gang-rape and robbery at the Hauz Khas police station and a team has been formed to identify the suspects," Chinmoy Biswal, Additional DCP of Delhi Police (south), said.
In a similar incident, a 30-year-old driver of a private cab services was recently arrested for allegedly raping and robbing a 23-year-old woman passenger in north Delhi’s Kotwali area. Initial investigation revealed that the man, who was arrested two days after the woman lodged a complaint, had earlier been picked up on charges of molestation.
