A 25-year-old married woman was allegedly gang-raped in a moving van here and later thrown on the road, leaving her with serious head injuries, police said on Wednesday, December 31.

The incident occurred late on Monday, December 29, when she was waiting for transport when two of the accused offered her a lift. Police said that the woman is currently undergoing treatment and is not yet fit to record her statement.

The two, hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh and currently staying in Faridabad, have been arrested, police said.

According to the complaint lodged by the woman’s sister, she was staying at her parents’ house due to marital discord. She had gone to her friend’s house in Sector 23 on Monday evening and while returning late at night, the accused offered her a lift.
