A woman has alleged that she was gang raped in a moving car after being kidnapped in west Delhi’s Mianwali Nagar, while two others were raped at south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj by men known to them.

Police said a 28-year-old married woman alleged that she was kidnapped and then gang raped by three men when she was returning home from a party late on Sunday.
The woman, however, sought to withdraw her complaint on Monday, saying she was drunk at the time she lodged it.

In her complaint, the victim alleged that she was returning home from a friend’s house after a party when a car stopped by her on Rohtak Road and the occupants forced her to get inside. “She stated that the driver of the car pulled her inside,” a police officer said.

The men then took turns to rape her, and dumped her at a deserted place. She approached police after which a medical examination was conducted and subsequently a case was registered with Mianwali Nagar police station.

But on Monday, she sought to withdraw her statement saying she was under the influence of alcohol when she accused the men of raping her. She did not want a case to be registered, she added.

“She was counselled on Monday and she retracted her earlier statement. She said she was drunk at that time,” the official added.

Repeated abuse

A 23-year-old woman of Kusumpur Pahari claimed her neighbour had been raping her at regular intervals after first having sexually assaulted her two months ago.
“The victim approached Vasant Kunj South police station with a complaint against Khemraj claiming that he had been raping her on a regular basis,” a police official said.

On Sunday, Khemraj was caught in the act by the woman’s mother who reported the matter to police. Khemraj was subsequently arrested.

Minor assaulted

A 15-year-old girl whose family grows and sells flowers and vegetables for a living at Vasant Kunj alleged she had been raped by Rajkumar, 22, who also works on the same farm.

“She claimed that he had sexually assaulted her a week ago,” another police officer said. Rajkumar was arrested after the girl’s medical examination at AIIMS confirmed rape.
