2 women raped in a car in Gurgaon. Pizza boy attacked customer in Mumbai

Mangalore Today/DHNS

Gurgaon, June 27: Two women from Delhi have told the police that they were raped in a moving car in the satellite town of Gurgaon.

The police said that between 1 and 2 am on Wednesday, the two women were reportedly outside a pub on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road and accepted a lift in a white sedan, the driver of which offered to drive them back to Delhi.

 The women have allegedly told the police that two more men got into the car en route and raped them in the moving vehicle. It was only after about two hours that they allegedly managed to escape the car and called the police.

A medical examination has confirmed rape and physical injury like bite marks on the arms, a senior Gurgaon police officer Maheshwar Dayal said.
 
Four people, including two prime suspects, have been detained and the car has been identified. However, the driver is still absconding.
 
In December last year, a 23-year-old medical student was brutally gang raped by six men in a moving bus in the heart of Delhi. Mortally wounded, she died in a Singapore hospital 13 days later. The case triggered protests across the country with angry students and others even clashing with the police as they demanded better security for women and swift justice for the student.
 
A mortified government rushed to design and implement a more stringent law against rape, but incidents of sexual assault on women have continued unabated in the National Capital Region or NCR as Delhi and its satellite towns are called. 


Mumbai pizza delivery boy attacked customer with knife, rolling pin


Mumbai, June 27: A young woman in Mumbai is recovering in hospital from an attack by a pizza delivery boy, who tried to rape her on Tuesday night at her apartment in Worli, an expensive part of the city.

 

The 22-year-old woman, who lives with her aunt, and is an IT engineer, was alone at home when she placed an order with a local pizzeria.

The police says that when the 17-year-old delivery boy realized that she was alone, he decided to attack her. So he returned 20 minutes later, claiming that he had given her the wrong order. He then forced his way into the apartment.  When she shouted for help, they say, he grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the stomach and on her wrist. Sources say he threw chili flakes that he had brought at her, and hit her on the head with a rolling pin. He then left the house, leaving her lying in a pool of blood.

Neighbours who heard her cries for help rushed her to hospital.

The suspect has been arrested and sent to a juvenile home.

The attack on a young woman alone at home in a Mumbai high-rise echoes that  of a 25-year-old lawyer named Pallavi Purkayastha who was killed  in last year at her apartment by a security guard who had stolen the keys to her front door.
