The sister of the 25-year-old woman who was gangraped, brutally assaulted and thrown out of a moving car on the Gurugram–Faridabad Road has said that the survivor had left home after a prolonged argument with their mother.
Speaking to NDTV, the sister said they had last spoken on Monday evening, hours before the incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, December 30.
“She told me she had been fighting with our mother for days and was losing her peace of mind. She said she was going to visit a friend,” the sister said. She added that the woman also spoke briefly to her daughter before leaving home. “She said she would wait for a three-wheeler and then disconnected.”
The next call came at around 3:30 am. “She called me, but there was silence. I disconnected and called back. She did not speak—then I heard her sobbing,” the sister recalled.
According to her, she stayed on the phone with the survivor for nearly half an hour before contacting the woman’s friend. The injured woman was rushed to a hospital, which later referred her to Delhi due to the severity of her injuries. “She was unconscious the entire time,” the sister said.
Police said the woman had left her friend’s house around midnight and accepted a lift from two men in a white Eeco van. Instead of dropping her home, the accused allegedly drove her to an isolated area, where they took turns raping her and assaulting her for nearly two hours before throwing her out of the moving vehicle.
The survivor is currently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital with multiple fractures and serious head and facial injuries, according to an earlier report by Hindustan Times.
The two accused—one from Uttar Pradesh and the other from Madhya Pradesh—have been arrested. They were produced before a city court on Wednesday and have been sent to judicial custody.
