INDIA : Danish Woman Gang Raped For 3 Hours In Heart of Delhi - 16 January 2014 NEW DELHI: Less than 13 months after Nirbhaya's brutal gang-rape had city authorities promising a safer Delhi for women, precious little seems to have changed. Horror and shame revisited the capital on Tuesday, when a 51-year-old Danish tourist was repeatedly raped by eight-nine men in a garden just a stone's throw away from Connaught Place in the heart of the city. The outrage continued for more than three hours, most of it during the evening rush hours, at a time when central Delhi was on high alert ahead of Republic Day celebrations. The survivor, on the last day of her India trip, was walking back to her Paharganj hotel around 4pm when she lost her way and entered the Railway Officers Club on State Entry Road near New Delhi Railway Station. There she was pushed into a small garden and robbed at knifepoint by the men described by police as vagabonds and drug-addicts. The woman said the men took turns to rape her, three of them allegedly raping her twice. Around 7.30pm, the accused helped her scale the club wall, after which she reached her hotel and told the manager about the incident. The survivor refused to undergo a medical test and took a flight back to Copenhagen on Wednesday morning. By 8.30pm on Wednesday, police claimed to have arrested two suspects and identified the rest. Special commissioner of police (law and order) Deepak Mishra confirmed the arrests. The gang-leader, who first accosted the woman, has been identified as Mahender Ganja from Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. An iPod, earplugs, Rs 8,000 in cash and a mobile phone allegedly bought with the stolen money have been recovered from him. Sources said Ganja was involved in two murder cases in the past. The other accused has been identified as Raja. The survivor's spectacle case and Rs 1,000 cash were found in his possession. Police have detained two others and were interrogating them till late in the evening. Four other suspects have been identified and teams are raiding places to nab them. Police said the suspects mostly hang around in the area around State Entry Road. They commit petty crimes and often came to the garden to distribute money, sources said. They will be produced in court on Thursday afternoon and taken on police remand. The survivor came to India on January 1 and stayed in the capital for a couple of days before leaving for Agra. She also visited other places, such as Mathura, and returned to Delhi on January 13. She checked into Amax Inn on Arakashan road, Paharganj, and was scheduled to take the return flight at 10.45am on Wednesday to Copenhagen. On Tuesday morning, she visited the National Museum and National Gallery of Modern Art. She was returning to her hotel around 4pm when the attack took place. She took the wrong turn on CP's Outer Circle and got into State Entry Road instead of taking Qutab Road. "As I walked down the road, I reached a dead end after crossing the divisional manager's office. I saw a board which said the Railway Officer's club (the gate was open to move out things after Lohri celebrations). A teenager was standing beside it. I asked him for the way to Paharganj and also asked if I could take the left into the gate and proceed. He nodded and followed me," she said in her statement, as quoted by a police source.
