In what can be described as one of the most tragic incidents that can happen to a woman and one of the most brutal crime that a person can commit, a woman’s infant was killed before she was gang-raped. This heinous crime happened last Monday. Police arrested 20 year old auto driver and the remaining two are yet to be caught.
A 23-year-old Gurgaon woman was assaulted in the auto rickshaw she had taken late at night. She was going to her parents’ house after having an altercation with her husband. As per her statement given to police, the three men in the auto rickshaw attacked her, and threw her baby onto the road to die when it started crying. She was then gang-raped for four hours before she was dumped on the road.
Later, the young woman returned to pick up her baby lying in the middle of the road and took it to a hospital in Gurgaon. She didn’t believe when the doctors told her baby was dead. Holding the dead baby in her bleeding arms, she traveled on the metro to a hospital in Delhi. She was aghast when the doctors at the second hospital also confirmed her baby’s death.
After the horrific rape and infanticide seizing media attention, a special investigation team has been formed to catch the rapists.
