A 30-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped by two railway employees in a room at busy New Delhi railway station premises in the wee hours of Friday, the Delhi police said on Saturday.
The police have arrested four railway electric department employees including two who were guarding the room when the incident happened.
The police said they received a call at 2.27 am on Friday regarding the incident and a woman caller told them that two men had allegedly raped her.
During the probe, cops found that the incident took place inside a train lighting hut, meant for electrical maintenance staff, at platforms-8-9 of New Delhi Railway Station.
The survivor, who is a native of neighbouring Haryana, told the officials that she has been separated from her husband for the last one year and is engaged in a court case for divorce. Around two years back, she came in contact with a man through a common friend. The man told her that he is a railway employee and can arrange a job for her too and they were in touch, it said.
On July 21, the accused invited her to his house for a party to celebrate his son's birthday, according to the Railways.
He picked up the woman from Kirti Nagar metro station around 10.30 pm in West Delhi and brought her to platform 8-9 at the railway station. He asked her to sit in a hut meant for electrical maintenance staff, the national transporter said.
Later, the man came to the hut along with his friend and bolted it from inside. The two sexually assaulted the woman while the other two accomplices were guarding the room from outside, the railways said.
