The woman was returning home after closing her beauty parlour in Barwala around 8 in the evening, when the auto driver and two of his accomplices allegedly took turns to rape the woman and later dumped her at a deserted place, said police officials.
Police have registered a case against the three accused, of whom one has been arrested but two are still at large.
The woman boarded a shared auto which already had a few passengers inside. The auto driver dropped the other passengers in Satrod, said the police report.
Two accomplices of the auto driver hopped onto the auto near the main gate of Hisar Cantt and allegedly took turns to rape the woman.
Later, the woman narrated the ordeal to her husband who then lodged a complaint with the police.The incident has raised questions over the night patrolling practice of Hisar police.
This shocking incident comes weeks after a 22-year-old woman was gang-raped in Chandigarh by an auto-rickshaw driver and two of his accomplices.
The case grabbed national headlines when actor-turned MP Kirron Kher faced criticism for her remark on how the girl could have averted the incident by not boarding the rickshaw with three men in it.
