MUMBAI:
A 22-year-old woman has claimed that she was gangraped in a deserted
subway at Churchgate railway station early on Sunday by five men who
also forced her to down a drink. The victim, who suffers from stunted
growth, is recuperating at the Bhabha Hospital.
A complaint was filed on Tuesday and the GRP is awaiting her medical reports.
The victim's statement puzzled investigators as the station subway is shut every night. It was supposed to be closed when the gangrape is alleged to have occurred. The CCTV footage did not show the woman near the subway early on Sunday, Monday and even Tuesday.
The victim lives with her parents and younger brother in a chawl in Kandivli. She had walked out of home after a fight with her parents on Friday.
On Tuesday, a female commuter noticed the victim looking weak and unwell in a Down local around 10 am. On inquiry, the victim said she had been gangraped. The commuter informed a friend who runs an NGO for children and took her to the hospital.
The victim said she was seated on the staircase at the entrance of the subway at 2 am on Sunday when the accused forced her to drink alcohol and raped her near some bushes.
Bhabha doctors said the medical exam had failed to establish much about the crime. There were no signs of injury on her body or private parts.
"Forensic samples have been collected," Dr P Jadhav said. "She's stable. She'll be under observation for a few days."
GRP officials said the victim suffered from asthma and tuberculosis and her haemoglobin count was low.
"There are some loose ends in her statement and we are trying to ascertain what exactly happened," DCP Deepak Devraj, WR, GRP, said.
Officials are considering the possibility of the incident having occurred at a location other than the subway. "We will be recording statements of guards who man the subway, besides those who operate a public lavatory nearby," a GRP officer said.
