After 40 mins, rape victim dumped at Mongolpuri
By Rahul Tripathi
New Delhi, Nov 25 : A 30-year-old BPO employee, from Manipur, was picked up by four drunken men near Dhaula Kuan and gangraped for over 40 minutes in a moving vehicle early on Wednesday morning. The woman was forced into the vehicle near Nanakpura gurdwara at 1.21am and found in a semi-conscious state in Mongolpuri Industrial Estate at 2am.
According to the police, the woman has been staying in the area for the past four years. She and her colleague, also from the northeast, had told the cab driver to drop them outside the gate of their colony at 1.15am.
They were walking towards the gate and were barely 100 metres from it when four men, who were sitting inside a tempo goods carrier, grabbed one of them. The other woman managed to escape.
The four then took the woman to the rear of the tempo, which was open at the top, and sped off on Ring Road around 1.21am. Her hands were tied and mouth gagged by three of the accused.
The other woman had, meanwhile, managed to run into the colony. She informed the PCR at 1.25am after which a manhunt was launched but the cops failed to trace the vehicle. Due to thin police presence and virtually no patrolling, the accused had a free run.
The four then took turns in raping the woman at the rear of the vehicle and stopped a number of times to swap positions. One of them was driving while the other three were at the back.
Around 2 pm, they dumped the woman at Mongolpuri Industrial Estate after which the traumatised victim somehow managed to call up her friend from her own mobile.
A police team rushed to the spot and took her to the hospital. Joint CP (southern range) Amulya Patnaik told TOI: ``We have registered a case and are investigating the matter. The four will be arrested soon. From the description given by the victim about the assailants, they appear to be workers or labourers.
The cops have launched a verification drive of goods carriers in the area with the focus on all the places where goods were delivered in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the victim who has been under trauma is being counselled by an NGO.The cops said they have also informed the family members and an organization that caters to Manipuri women.
A case under section 365 (kidnapping) and 376 (g) (gangrape) has been registered at Dhaula Kuan police station.

I personally believe this may be a sharp reaction from bihari class who had been targeted by Manipuri youth in name of inner line permit or outsiders.
Nothing is a sharp reaction, they have every right to maintain their inner line permits to protect themselves from alien invaders. It is their land, it is their culture. Biharis are not welcome ANYWHERE.
