The incident took place late on Monday when the men offered the woman a lift as she waited for transport. Yashpal Yadav, public relations officer of Faridabad police, told Hindustan Times that the woman was on her way back from a friend’s house. She got late after she could not find any transport from Metro Chowk to reach Kalyanpuri Chowk.
Police said the two men were travelling in a Maruti Suzuki Eeco van, reached Metro Chowk close to midnight, and offered her a ride.
The woman is undergoing treatment and is not in a condition to give her statement yet, police said. Her sister told the police that the woman said the accused “took her away towards the Gurugram-Faridabad Road and gang-raped her”.
