A rare cautionary tale in Ghaziabad’s gang rape that wasn’t

A woman allegedly gang-raped by five men, bound and dumped in a sack on the roadside near Delhi at night, her body bearing visible signs of brutality, allegedly brutalised by a metal object, a commuter discovering her and dialling the police – the similarities with the 2012 Delhi gang rape case were striking. Hence, when a 38-year-old woman levelled sensational charges of gangrape on five men earlier this week, the allegations made headlines across the country.
