Ambulance Gang-Rape: Horrific Faridabad Assault

FARIDABAD – In a chilling turn of events, Faridabad police revealed on Sunday that the 25-year-old woman who was gang-raped earlier this week was assaulted inside a private hospital ambulance.

The investigation has taken a sharp turn following the arrest of two men, a driver and a helper who were employed by a private medical facility.

Key Developments in the Investigation

A senior investigating officer confirmed that the vehicle used in the crime has been identified. The two accused, hailing from Mathura and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, are currently in judicial custody.

• The Deception: The victim was waiting for an auto-rickshaw at Metro Chowk around midnight on Monday when the accused offered her a lift.
• The Crime: Instead of taking her to her destination, the men drove toward Gurugram, sexually assaulting her inside the moving ambulance before throwing her onto the road.
• Digital Trail: A purported video of the victim has surfaced where she claims one of the accused transferred ₹600 to her PayTM account after she boarded the vehicle, likely as a ruse to gain her trust.

The woman, who has been hospitalized for the past six days, described a terrifying ordeal in the video currently circulating on social media. She stated that once she entered the vehicle, the accused locked the doors and snatched her mobile phone.

“There was dense fog and I cried for help, but no one responded,” she said in the footage. Police are still working to verify the video’s authenticity.

Next Steps for Justice

The Faridabad police have outlined a clear path for the legal proceedings:

1. Identification Parade: This will be conducted before a magistrate as soon as the victim’s health stabilizes.
2. Production Warrants: The accused will be brought back from jail for further intensive questioning to reconstruct the exact sequence of events.
3. Forensic Evidence: The ambulance is expected to undergo forensic examination to secure physical evidence of the struggle.

The victim remains under medical care as the community reels from the shock of a life-saving vehicle being used to commit such a heinous act.
