CHANDIGARH: Barely seven days after the Supreme Court upheld death sentence for Nirbhaya’s rapists, another starkly similar case has rocked Haryana. Two men from Sonipat not only kidnapped and repeatedly raped a 23-year-old woman divorcee in Rohtak, they also inserted a sharp-edged weapon in her private parts before raping her again. After all this, they smashed her head with a brick so that it would be difficult to identify her.
The woman’s decomposed body was noticed by passersby in an open plot in the Industrial Model Township area of Rohtak on Thursday. The men noticed the body being mauled by stray dogs. Police said by the time they reached the spot, dogs had already eaten up parts of her face and stomach.
Police have arrested two men for the brutal crime. One of them is the victim’s neighbour in Sonipat, Sumit Kumar, while the other is his friend, Vikas. Cops said the crime was committed as the woman refused to marry Sumit. He also suspected her of having an affair with another man.
CCTV footage of the factory in Sonipat where the woman worked showed that she had left with the two men, who were later arrested on Friday.
On Tuesday, Sumit and Vikas took the woman to Rohtak on the pretext of taking her to see a local lake. Instead, they took her to a hotel. Police officials say during interrogation, Sumit admitted that he and his friend raped the woman for a day after giving her a drink that made her drowsy.
