NEW DELHI: A 24-year-old call centre employee was gang-raped by four men in a factory in Badarpur after one of them took her there on the promise of a better job and "double the salary". The traumatized woman and her husband took two days to muster the courage to lodge a police complaint, after which two of the accused were arrested on Tuesday evening.
The couple lived in Bawana in northwest Delhi but the victim had recently moved to south Delhi on her own after she took up the call centre job. It was here that the prime accused, Suraj, befriended her and talked her into going for a job interview on Sunday. "He apparently flaunted his connections and told her he knew many senior officials in call centres in Mohan Co-operative Industrial Area. He told her that she was getting paid very less and he would help her double her salary. Lured by better career prospects, the woman got trapped," a source in Delhi Police said.
The victim told police that Suraj took her to a factory in Badarpur in the afternoon, saying the owner of the company wanted to conduct the interview there. When they reached, however, she found the building was shut and desolate as it was a Sunday. Three of Suraj's friends were already present at the factory and they forced her inside despite her protests. They took turns to rape her and fled the spot after threatening her against telling anyone.
The victim managed to make it out of Badarpur and reach her husband in Bawana. Out of fear, the couple waited a while before approaching cops and a case was registered on Tuesday night. The victim was medically examined and her statement recorded.
Suraj was arrested within hours and at his instance, his aide Deepu was nabbed. Two of the accused — including one who worked at the factory — are still absconding, the police source said. A manhunt is on and raids are being conducted to nab the duo, the source said.
