NationalNCW sends team to probe Ghaziabad gangrape case

Date:

New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has sent a two-member team to probe the gangrape case in Ghaziabad, official sources said on Thursday. The team members will also meet the gangrape survivor and her family members at the hospital where she is undergoing treatment. NCW tweeted: The NCW is taking cognizance of the matter and sending a two-member fact-finding team to meet the family of the victim and authorities concerned.

“The barbarity perpetrated on the woman is beyond comprehension and condemnable in the strongest possible words,” the commission said. According to the commission, chairperson Rekha Sharma has written to the Director General of Police (DGP) Uttar Pradesh to immediately file an FIR in the case and arrest all the accused at the earliest. The NCW has also sought the best medical treatment for the woman. A copy of the letter has been sent to the superintendent of police, Ghaziabad, the commission said.

A 38-year-old woman from Delhi, who was waiting for an auto rickshaw in Ghaziabad to attend a birthday party at her brother’s residence, was forced to sit in a vehicle in which five persons gang-raped her. After committing the crime, they inserted an iron rod in her private parts and left her unconscious on Ashram Road in Ghaziabad. Her hands and feet were tied to a rope.

According to Ghaziabad superintendent of police Nipun Agarwal, the incident came to light after the woman was found on the road in an unconscious state. Taking cognizance of the incident, chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women said that the incident reminded her of the Nirbhaya case in Delhi in 2010. The Ghaziabad police then rushed her to a hospital from where she registered a complaint.
