Bengaluru,
A 25-year-old woman was allegedly
gangraped by knife wielding robbers in the presence of her husband and
mother-in-law at her residence here, police said today.
The woman was raped by two of a four-member robbers’ gang in the
presence of the family, as the accused allegedly tied their hands and
threatened them with knife, Inspector HSR layout, Raghvinder said.
The four accused, all aged 21 and residents of Bengaluru, entered
the victim’s house around midnight and claimed to be policemen who wanted to
inquire about illegal sale of intoxicants, he said.
All the four robbers were arrested on Oct 31 at Chikkaballapur and
charged under Section 376D (gangrape) of the Indian Penal Code, Additional

south-east area HSR layout, but a complaint against the accused was lodged on
Oct 28, Raghvinder said.
According to the complainant, the robbers threatened the husband
with the sharp-edged weapon after he opened the door and barged into their
residence. They broke the almirah and looted some cash and gold valuables, he
said. Later, they tied the husband and the mother-in-law to a bed and two of
the robbers gangraped the victim, while the other two helped them kept a watch
around the house.
The
gang also threatened the members with dire consequences if they approached
police and locked the door from outside before leaving the crime scene, he
said.
The accused were wanted in numerous robbery cases, while one of
them had recently been imprisoned in connection with a few theft cases, police
said. (Source- www.newsroompost.com)
