Gurgaon: A 23-year-old pregnant woman was allegedly raped by an auto driver and his two accomplices in Manesar, police said on Saturday. The incident occurred on May 21 when the victim, who is six month's pregnant, was going for a routine check-up at the hospital in Manesar with her husband on a bicycle, they said.

While the couple was returning home, the woman complained that she was uncomfortable on the bicycle, a senior police officer. "The woman's husband told her to take a shared auto to reach home in the nearby village. But she did not return until very late," he said.
