NEW DELHI: A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped for two weeks by two men in Gurgaon after one of them abducted her from Delhi. She was then dumped in south Delhi after being threatened of dire consequences if she went to police. But the girl did go to the Malviya Nagar police, which has arrested car driver Vasant and mechanic Leelaram Yadav.

A case has been registered under IPC 363 (kidnapping), 366 (kidnapping to compel woman to marriage), 368 (keeping in confinement), 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation). "They have been sent to judicial custody," said DCP (south) Chhaya Sharma.

The incident comes to light days after a bartender working in Gurgaon was raped by a cab driver on the way back to her house at Masudpur in Vasant Kunj.

According to the FIR, the girl from West Bengal had come to Delhi at the insistence of a cousin who had told her that she could get a job as a sales assistant at a leading cosmetic store. However, she was kept at a businessman's house as a housemaid but was asked to leave it on the night of November 26.

The cops said the girl was spending the night at the Shivalik Road bus stop when, around 2am, accused Vasant approached her and forced her into his car. The girl could not realize where she was being taken. "The accused took her to Ullabas in Gurgaon where he raped her the same night. The girl was then confined in a room while the accused promised to marry her. The girl accepted the offer, hoping she would be released. However, the man brought over his friend Yadav who, too, raped her. The torture continued till December 10 after which the minor was dumped at Malviya Nagar with the accused threatening her that they would come back to kill her if she approached anybody for help. A passerby, however, saw the girl and informed the police about it," Sharma said. The medical test of the girl at AIIMS has confirmed rape, cops said.

The child welfare committee has asked that the girl be sent to Prayas shelter while psychiatrists are counselling her. It has also directed the cops to find out the address of her employers and permitted them to take the girl to the crime spot so that she can lead the cops to the house.
