Indian woman who survived shocking gang-rape attack is raped AGAIN by the SAME five men who are out on bail

A woman who was gang-raped three years ago has alleged that she was raped again by the same five men, with her family accusing them of carrying out the attack in revenge for bringing the 2013 case to court.

The unnamed girl was found unconscious by a roadside with torn clothes last Wednesday in Rohtak, near New Delhi.

She was rushed to Rohtak Civil Hospital, where she told police that she was kidnapped in broad daylight as she returned
home from college by the same men who raped her in 2013, Daily Mail reports.

The men, she alleged, put her in their car and then raped her again.

Two of the accused were arrested for the 2013 rape in Bhiwani and released on bail, the other three had not been arrested but a case against them had been filed by the victim’s family.

The victim’s brother told the Hindustan Times that their pursuit of a court case against the accused resulted in a revenge attack.

He said: ‘We had filed a case in the court for the arrest of the remaining three and re-arrest of the two out on bail. We were getting constant threats from the accused to reach a compromise outside the court, but we remained firm. That’s why they have attacked her again.’

The accused - Amit, Mausam, Raju, Akash and Sandeep – all from Bhiwani, are being hunted by police but have absconded, the officer leading the investigation said.

Deputy superintendent of police Pushpa Khatri told the Hindustan Times: ‘We have raided their houses, but they are on the run. I can’t reveal more right now.’

It’s the belief of the victim’s brother that the accused are able to escape justice because of their ranking in society.

The victim is from the lowest caste – or class – called Dalit and the accused are from the upper caste.

He added: ‘It seems they can do whatever they want.’
