Four men allegedly held a woman captive and raped her for nine days in Sohna, India. The woman was reportedly given sedatives by the accused before the act. It was also recorded.
The 19-year-old victim was dropped off at Ballabhgarh bus stand on July 8 after she was raped. On June 29, she had gone to get water on the outskirts of a village in Sohna where she met one of the accused, Chintu, whom she knew.
According to The Times Of India, he asked her to meet at a nearby temple the following day. According to police, the teenager went to meet Chintu at the temple but two of his friends, Deepak and Sanju, came in a car and took her towards Faridabad. The car was driven by Deepak.
The girl was given water spiked with sedatives. After drinking it, she fell unconscious. A few hours later when she came to her senses, she found herself locked in a room that had liquor bottles and burnt cigarettes.
The following day, another person, Kuldeep, joined Chintu, Sanju and Deepak and allegedly sexually assaulted her. They reportedly threatened her not to tell anyone about the incident. The accused gave her new set of clothes before leaving her at the bus stand.
