UTTARPARA/BALLY: A 27-year-old woman and mother of two, who was brought to hospital as an accident victim on Friday morning, regained consciousness briefly to say that she was gangraped in a car and dumped on the New Bally Bridge. She died a few hours after giving her last statement.

Police have started a probe on the basis of her dying declaration. This comes barely a fortnight after a woman was gangraped at gunpoint in a car on Park Street.

Police identified her as a resident of Baranagar. They said she had been dragged into a car from near her house around 3am on Friday. A few hours later, she was found battered and unconscious near New Bally Bridge's toll plaza.

An officer said the rapist may be a trucker who could have left the state by now. Police are trying to identify vehicles present at the toll plaza when the crime took place.
