Women gangraped by dacoits in Gurugram

Two women were allegedly gangraped by more than half-a-dozen dacoits at a factory in Haileymandi here on Sunday.

According to the police, the dacoits struck at the factory around midnight, when the women along with their families and other workers were sleeping there.

Factory owner Pritam told The Hindu that the dacoits took the security guard hostage at gunpoint and forced him to open the gate.

“The culprits then tied him up and went to the accommodations of the workers and forced them to open the doors. Armed with weapons, the dacoits beat up the male workers and tied them up. They then took turns to rape the two women,” said Pritam

He added that the dacoits stayed inside the factory for more than three hours after committing the crime. “They consumed liquor and cooked chicken inside the factory. The workers were traumatised, and called me up more than 30 minutes after the dacoits left,” said Pritam.
