A
22-year-old woman was dragged out of a car and raped in front of her husband
and brother-in-law who were held at gunpoint in the northern Indian state of
Haryana, the police said on Tuesday.
The
incident, according to police, took place Sunday night in Sector 56 of Gurugram
on the outskirts of New Delhi.
Police
said they had arrested four people in this connection.
A
police official said: “on Sunday night a woman, her husband and brother-in-law
were returning from a function in a car.
“When
they stopped near the business park tower, the woman’s husband got out of the
car to use the toilet.
“Suddenly
two cars stopped near them and four men came out and dragged the woman out of
the car.
“One
of the men took the woman and raped her while others held her husband and her
brother-in-law at gunpoint.”
Reports
said before running away, the men warned the woman and her husband against
reporting the incident to the police.
This
is the latest incident of rape horror that emerged in the state.
Recently
two incidents of young girls being raped and killed were reported in Haryana.
Sexual
attacks on women and girls in India put a question mark on their safety and
efficiency of the police force in the country.
In
December 2012, a fatal gang-rape of a medical student in New Delhi brought the
spotlight on crimes against women in India.
The
incident saw huge protests and resulted in new anti-rape laws in the country.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women continue to be reported across
India.
