Noida: A 21-year-old management student from south Delhi's Lajpat Nagar area was waylaid by about 10 youths when she was leaving a Noida shopping mall along with a friend on Monday evening, taken to a desolate spot and raped in turns. Five of the men were arrested yesterday, the police said.
The victim had gone with her friend Amit Pawar, a resident of south Delhi's Hauz Khas locality, to the Great Indian Place Mall in Sector 18 market here for shopping. The police said the victim and her friend, both classmates at a private management institute in Noida, were sitting in their car when around 10 men waylaid their car.
The men, in their early 20s and residents of Garhi Chaukhandi village in Sector 58, were returning after playing a cricket match.
"The accused were carrying cricket bats and wickets. One of them took the wheels of the car. The other men thrashed Pawar as they drove the car to a secluded spot in Noida-Sector 71," said a police officer.
"They then allegedly took turns to rape the victim. The men fled after taking away the mobile phones of the girl and her friend with them," the officer said.
