4 rape newly-wed woman, shoot video at gunpoint

GURUGRAM: A 19-year-old woman was allegedly abducted from her village in Nagina block of Nuh district in Mewat by four men, held captive and gangraped at gunpoint.

The four accused shot objectionable photos as well as a video of her rape, and later posted them online. This incident comes close on the heels of ‘The Room’ rape incident.

The shocking matter came to light late night on Saturday, when the survivor moved to police.

An FIR was registered against the four accused at the women’s police station in Nuh. Police said they are conducting raids, but haven’t managed to arrest any of the accused till the time this report was filed.

According to the complainant, she was kidnapped by four men in a white Mahindra Bolero SUV in the wee hours of August 12, when she had gone to the fields to relieve herself.

“I was on my way to the field, when a white Bolero suddenly arrived out of nowhere. Before I could realise anything, they had pulled me inside and took me to the nearby forest. There they raped me at gunpoint, and shot photos and a video of it. They threatened to circulate the video in the village if I resisted, and continued to take turns in raping me many times, before letting me go,” she told police.

The victim moved to police on Saturday night after the accused allegedly uploaded the photos and video online. She was unable to elaborate further on her captivity, though she has identified the accused as Shaukeen, Rashid, Khali and Ismail, all residents of the neighbouring Kotla village.

She was later taken to Civil Hospital for medical examination, where doctors confirmed the rape on Sunday. The FIR registered against the four accused includes sections 376D (gang rape), 365 (kidnap), 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC, sections 25-54-59 of the Arms Act and sections 66-67 of the IT Act.

“We’re investigating the matter from all angles. The survivor is yet to divulge details of her captivity. Meanwhile, we’ve started raids to nab the accused, who are absconding from their homes,” said sub-inspector Munia Devi, SHO of women’s police station, Nuh.

Cops said the incident happened when the survivor had come home to visit her parents, two-and-a-half months after she had got married. The accused are known to her, and live in the neighbouring village.
