11 People Including 9 Women Arrested After 20-Yr-Old Gang-Raped, Paraded In Delhi

Mumbai: A total of 11 people, including nine women, have been arrested after a 20-year-old woman was gang-raped and paraded wearing a garland of slippers in Delhi’s Shahdara.

The woman’s hair was cut and her face was blackened, with a video of the incident surfacing online.

According to the police, they were informed about the incident on Wednesday by the woman’s husband, who was not present at the spot but was informed by her landlord.

Police said that after getting the information, they reached the spot and rescued the 20-year-old woman from the assault and took her to the police station. The police have registered a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including gang rape, physical assault, sexual assault and criminal conspiracy.

According to the victim’s sister, a boy living in the neighbourhood who claimed to be in love with the woman committed suicide in November last year. “His family blames my sister for their son’s death,” she said.

“An unfortunate incident of sexual assault of a woman due to personal enmity happened in Shahdara District,” said R Sathiyasundaram, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Shahdara.

“Police has nabbed four accused and probe is on. All possible help and counselling are being provided to the victim,” the DCP said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday called it a shameful act and urged the Centre to instruct the police to take strict action.
