Faridabad, Jan 4: A fresh revelation has emerged in the gang rape case of a 25-year-old woman in Faridabad, with police confirming that the crime was committed inside a private hospital’s ambulance and not a van, as initially believed.

A senior investigating officer on Sunday said the two accused were employed as a driver and helper on the ambulance of a private hospital. Both men, natives of Mathura and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. The survivor continues to remain hospitalised, six days after the incident.

Meanwhile, a purported video of the victim has surfaced in which she claims that after offering her a lift, one of the accused transferred Rs 600 to her PayTM account before locking the vehicle and snatching her mobile phone. She alleged that despite shouting for help amid dense fog, no assistance came. Police said the authenticity of the video is yet to be verified.

According to investigators, once the woman recovers, an identification parade will be conducted before a magistrate, following which the accused will be brought on a production warrant for further questioning.

As per police records, the woman had visited a friend’s house in Sector 23 on Monday evening. While returning, she reached Metro Chowk around midnight, where the accused offered her a lift. Instead of taking her home, they allegedly drove towards Gurugram and assaulted her in the moving vehicle before abandoning her near Raja Chowk around 3 am on Tuesday. She was later admitted to a private hospital.
