Two of her assailants were nabbed while three managed to get away.
The youths had been following the woman, who along with three others had hailed a radio taxi around 2.30am from Gurgaon's Sahara Mall to return to their residence in Badarpur.

He was beaten up and even offered Rs 1,000 to let the occupants out of his Alto. The accused then dragged the 24-year-old victim, who was sitting on the front seat, into their SUV and drove off.
