‘In very critical condition’
The 38-year-old resident of Nand Nagri area of Delhi is battling for her life in a hospital. She is in “very critical condition”, it said. According to the panel, the woman was waiting for an auto rickshaw in Ghaziabad to attend her brother’s birthday celebration on October 16 when four men kidnapped her in an SUV, and took her to an unknown location.
They, along with another man, allegedly gang raped and tortured her for two days, it said. The notice has been issued to Ghaziabad senior superintendent of police seeking an action taken report and a copy of the FIR along with details of arrests made.
DCW chief Swati Maliwal said, “The incident is very horrific and disturbing. It reminds me of the Nirbhaya case. All accused must be arrested immediately and strict action taken against them. I fail to understand how long women and children be subjected to such extreme brutality.”
