Delhi Woman Gangraped By Five Men, Jumps off Balcony to Escape

In a shocking incident, a 26-year-old woman was allegedly gangraped by five men after being locked up in a flat in East Delhi’s Pandav Nagar on Saturday night. She then jumped off the balcony in order to escape and injured her legs, informed a senior police official.

The five men have been arrested and a case has been registered at Pandav Nagar police station. Four of the accused work in call centres in Noida, while one is employed as an engineer in Tech Mahindra.

Police informed that the woman, a single mother, was allegedly taken to the flat by one named Vikas, whom she’s known for the past few months.

According to PTI, she met Vikas in Munirka who asked her to accompany him to his friend’s house for a party.

“The woman left with him and on the way met two of his friends. The three brought her to the flat where their other friends were already present. The woman protested about the presence of others,” police official said.

The woman told police that the five forced her to consume alcohol. When she got drunk, they allegedly locked her in the flat and took turns to rape her. They allegedly threatened her of dire consequences if she raised an alarm or attempted to escape from the flat.

But according to a Times of India report, the woman was offered to be dropped home by Vikas and when she entered, two of the accused were already present. She was then forcibly taken to the flat in Pandav Nagar where the accused raped her.

She then said that she fell unconscious and was locked up in a room.

In the wee hours of Sunday, the woman managed to reach the balcony and jumped. She alerted some passersby about the sexual assault she was subjected to. One of them informed the police.

“The woman was admitted to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital for medical treatment and examination. She has sustained minor injuries in her legs,” said the officer.

Meanwhile, police said further investigation is on since the woman has been changing her statement.
