NEW DELHI: A 42-year-old woman from Jaipur has alleged that she was abducted, beaten up and raped by three men who later dumped her from a moving car in Kalkaji on Wednesday.

A case of gang rape has been registered and an Agra lawyer has already been detained. Three police teams have been raiding several places in Faridabad, Agra, Mathura, Vrindavan and Jaipur to nab the other two men. The victim claimed she knew the lawyer, whom she has named as main accused, for over five years as they both had the same guru. She also claimed that she had gone to Mathura-Vrindavan on December 22 for spiritual healing and was returning home via Delhi on Wednesday afternoon.

"She has alleged that the accused met her in Mathura-Vrindavan and offered to drop her to Delhi. She was instead taken to a flat at an unidentified location where two other men were waiting. The trio threatened her with a knife and raped her," said an officer, quoting from her statement.

The woman also alleged that they even hurt her with the knife when she resisted.

"Later, the trio forced her inside their car and drove down to Delhi. They dumped her in Kalkaji around 9pm," the officer said.

The victim asked a passerby where she was and borrowed a phone to call up a woman in Lajpat Nagar, who then informed cops about the incident.

The victim was sent to AIIMS for medical examination and a case was registered. Her call records were scanned, too, and lawyer's location was traced. By Thursday morning, a team had reached Agra and detained the accused.

But there were counter claims made by the lawyer that got the cops confused. He alleged that he was being framed and that the victim had tried to file a similar case in Agra a year ago which had not materialized as the local cops had not found the allegations true.

Cops are also probing if there is any property dispute between the victim and the lawyer.
