Jewar-Bulandshahr case: Gang-rape victim reveals identity of rapists

The incident took place some 60 km from Noida on Jewar at around 1.30 am on Thursday.

Greater Noida: In a twist in the alleged robbery and gang-rape on Jewar-Bulandshahr road on Wednesday night, one of the victims has revealed that the perpetrators were known to her family.

The lady has told a news channel that the crime was the result of an old enmity.

She has also revealed the identity of the miscreants, reported India News.

Naseer and his son, Munna, Shah Alam, and Kabir's son were involved in the horrific crime, said the victim.

The latest incident took place some 60 km from Noida on Jewar at around 1.30 am on Wednesday. Eight members, including four women, of a Greater Noida-based family, were headed to Bulandshahr to visit an ailing relative in a hospital in western Uttar Pradesh.

According to the victims, five armed men forced the car, an Eeco van, to stop by shooting at its tyres near Sabota village in Jewar.

The armed men took turns to rape the women at gunpoint in a nearby field.

When scrap dealer Shakeel Qureshi, 40, put up a resistance, the men shot him dead. The victims were also looted of their valuables, mobile phones, and Rs 44,000 cash, police said.

The lady has alleged that Shah Alam shot dead Qureshi on the instructions of Naseer. She has further told the channel that her brother was also killed by this group seven years ago.

Naseer hailed from the victims' village.

The incident is reminiscent of the horrific gang-rape of a woman and her 13-year-old daughter in July 2016 when they were travelling in a car from Noida to Shahjahanpur. The incident took place on the national highway passing through Bulandshahr.
