Chandigarh, July 20: A 22year-old married woman from Chandigarh has alleged that she was raped by 40 men for four consecutive days after being held captive at a guest house in Morni area of Haryana’s Panchkula district, following which three people were arrested, police said on Friday.

In a complaint lodged with the Chandigarh Police at Manimajra police station on Thursday, the woman alleged that she was held captive for four days where the accused took turns to rape her.

The woman’s husband told reporters that she was promised job at the guest house by a person known to them, adding she was drugged for four days, raped and threatened that she and her husband would be “eliminated” if she revealed the incident to anyone.

The woman’s husband claimed, “One of the accused had promised a job to her at the guest house. He had agreed to employ her at a monthly salary of `11,000 to `12,000 for cleaning the guest house. We did not know anybody, except him.”

“Every day, about 10 men would brutalise her and this continued for four days between July 15 and 18.

“Then she somehow managed to call me over phone and told me that she was in great trouble. I spoke to the guest house manager and told him to leave her or else I would call the police.”

“My wife later reached home and narrated the ordeal after which we lodged a police complaint,” he said.
