In a shocking incident, a woman was gang-raped inside a moving car, while a friend accompanying her died after being pushed out of the vehicle in Uttar Pradesh.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening when the alleged accused picked up two women from Greater Noida and forced them into their car.
When a fight between the women and the men in the car, identified as Gautam Buddha Nagar residents Sandeep and Amit, and Ghaziabad resident Gaurav, broke out, one of the women was pushed out of the car in Meerut district. She later succumbed to injuries.
The other woman, still inside the moving car, was allegedly gang-raped by three men. However, she managed to escape around Bulandshahr’s Khurja. She later reported the incident to the police.
A joint police team intercepted the accused near the Bulandshahr-Aligarh highway in the Arnia area. Two of the alleged accused sustained bullet injuries to their legs during the exchange of fire with police.
“The arrested individuals have been identified as Sandeep, Gaurav and Amit. Sandeep and Gaurav were the ones injured in the encounter," Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Dr Tejveer Singh said as quoted by news agency PTI.
The police recovered illegal firearms, ammunition, nd the vehicle reportedly used in the commission of the crime from the possession of the arrested men.
An FIR in connection with the incident was registered under relevant sections of the BNS at the Khurja Police Station on Wednesday following a complaint lodged by the surviving victim, police said.
