BANGALORE: A 30-year-old woman, mother of two, was gang-raped by a few city taxi drivers on the Jnanabharathi campus on Sunday night. The Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), M.C. Narayana Gowda, said that around 6.30 p.m. the woman, a construction labourer, and her two sons were waiting at Hosakerehalli to catch a bus to their house in Veerabhadranagar. Four men who came in a city taxi accosted the woman and told her that they would drop her at her house. As they dragged one of her sons into the taxi, she too got into the vehicle, he said. Though they took the woman and her sons, aged eight and 10, to Veerabhadranagar, they did not stop the vehicle. On reaching the Jnanabharathi campus around 7.30 p.m., they made the two boys sit in the vehicle and dragged the woman into a wooded area and repeatedly raped her. After some time, they telephoned two of their friends and they came there in another city taxi. "A youth who came in the second vehicle also tried to rape her. But she was almost unconscious," Mr. Gowda said. Around 11.30 p.m. the two who had come in the second vehicle dropped her and her sons near Veerabhadranagar in Byatarayanapura police station limits. On a complaint by the woman, the police sent her for medical examination on Monday and got her medical aid, he said. On the information given by the victim, the police arrested the two who had come in the second vehicle and seized the vehicle. Special teams have been formed to arrest the four others who are at large, Mr. Gowda said.
Husband, a convict
The woman, a native of Bijapur district, lives in Veerabhadranagar with fellow labourers. Her husband has been convicted in a murder case and is serving life sentence at the Parappana Agrahara jail here. She has left her two sons in a hostel. On Sunday evening she had taken her sons to the jail to see their father who has already served eight years of imprisonment, Mr. Gowda said.
