Gurugram girl gang-raped in moving vehicle, later thrown out of car

Gurgaon:  In yet another bone-chilling incident, a 22-year-old woman from Sikkim was allegedly gang-raped by three men in a moving car in Haryana on Sunday. The woman was later thrown out on road. The incident comes only days after a Nirbhaya-like case in Sonipat, where a girl was gang-raped and later mutilated as a revenge for refusing marriage proposal. The woman was attacked at around 2 AM when she was returning from Delhi to her residence in Sector-17 in Gurgaon. She was dragged by three men into their Swift car from a place close to her house. They then took turns to rape her in the moving vehicle while heading to Najafgarh in the national capital, 20 kms from Gurgaon, senior police officer told media.
