According to earlier details, the woman had called the motorway police and asked for assistance after she ran out of fuel and was stranded on the motorway. The police “refused to provide her help and she was told by the operator that the emergency beat had not been assigned to anyone”.

It was later that the assailants spotted her, found her vulnerable with her kids and ambushed the car.

Gujjarpura police said that a case of gang rape and robbery has been registered in the complaint of the woman’s relative while the process of identifying the accused via cameras of the safe city was underway.
