Ludhiana woman gangraped by brother's wife's relatives in act of vengeance

NEW DELHI: A married woman in Ludhiana was allegedly gang-raped by a man and three of his family members in an act of revenge, according to police officials. The accused reportedly committed the crime after the man's daughter eloped with the victim's brother. The accused, hailing from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly recorded the act on their mobile phones.

The victim's brother and the daughter of one of the accused, Ravinder Singh, eloped on April 30. The girl's family had opposed their marriage, leading the couple to elope. On the night of May 1, while the victim was alone at home with her toddler and her husband was on a night shift, the accused allegedly forced their way into her house around 11.30pm and gangraped her, filming the act.

In her complaint, the victim said that the four men—Ravinder Singh, his brother Varinder Singh, his son Aman Singh, and another associate, Santosh Singh—came to her home seeking the eloped couple. When they did not find them, the accused allegedly turned on the victim. They also threatened to upload the video on social media if she reported the incident, the complaint said.

A case has been registered at Tibba Road Police Station against the four accused. The victim, originally from Uttar Pradesh, currently resides in Ludhiana with her husband and children.
