Jaipur, April 7: Six drunk friends beat up a man and gang raped his 35-year-old wife in front of him one by one on the rooftop of a deserted house in Kanota police station area of the city throughout Thursday night.
The woman was left in a semi-unconscious state, while her husband who tried to protest was humiliated and severely beaten up by the accused. The police arrested the six men, most of whom were property dealers, on Friday.
According to police, the man and his wife are residents of a town in Sikar district. "The man works at a mineral water factory in Sitapura Industrial area. He was on his way to his hometown on Thursday evening when one Hanuman Meena called him up and invited him to the birthday party of his friend's son at Prem Nagar in Rayla village under Kanota police station area," said DCP, east Mahendra Singh.
Singh said earlier the man was working at the agriculture farms in Kanota area following which he knew Meena (34) and his other friends including Shankar Lal Meena, Sitaram Meena (21), Rajulal Meena (26), Vishnu Sharma (40) and Dinesh Meena (28).
SHO of Kanota police station Vijay Pal Singh said that the couple went to the party where Hanuman and his gang boozed. "The party went on till around midnight and when the couple was leaving, Hanuman told them that they should stay at his house as it was too late," said Singh.
He added that Hanuman took the couple on his bike to a deserted house in Sumel in Kardhani Yojana. The other five friends also followed them on bikes.
"After taking the couple to the rooftop of the house, they started beating up the husband and stripped his wife. After stripping her completely, they started humiliating the husband and raped her one by one," said the officer.
He added that the husband somehow managed to get free and rushed outside. He ran through the village crying for help. The villagers then informed the police.
A police team rushed to the spot around 3.30 am finding the woman in a semi-unconscious state. The accused had run away by then. "We immediately rounded up some of them by 6 am, while the others by 11 am," said the officer.
Commissioner of police BL Soni said that keeping in view the seriousness of the incident, the police have put the case under the police's 'case officer scheme' and are carrying out DNA fingerprinting to nail the accused during trial.
He added that the medical examination of the victim has been carried out and her statements have been recorded. "The six accused have no criminal background. They were under the influence of alcohol and did this horrifying thing out of fun," said Soni.
