Pub employee gangraped in Gurgaon

GURGAON: A woman working in a pub in a mall here was gangraped by six people in an apartment here early on Monday, police said.

She was abducted by car borne youths at 3am from the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road.

The victim, police said, has blamed a co-worker for the incident. A case of abduction and gangrape has been registered at the DLF Phase II police station.

The woman, 25, who works in the Last Chance pub in the Sahara Mall was later abandoned at the Qutub Minar Metro station. She initially lodged a complaint at the Mehrauli police station in the capital, from where the police took her to Gurgaon.

Gurgaon's Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Maheshwar Dayal said, "We have registered a case of gangrape and abduction against unknown people."

The victim told the police that after the pub closed at 2am, she had left for her house in Badarpur in South Delhi in a hired cab. Her 17-year-old brother was also with her. When their car reached near the Bristol Hotel here, a car with a Delhi number plate overtook the vehicle and forced it to stop.

The victim was then taken to an unknown place and raped.

The woman told the police that she had a dispute with a waitress working at the same pub and that the rapists had been seen dancing with her in the pub late on Sunday night.

"We are also investigating this angle too," said another senior police officer.
