According to the complaint lodged by the survivor's sister, the woman had left home after a quarrel with her mother. She was returning from a friend's house when she accepted a lift from two men in a Maruti Suzuki Eeco van.
The complaint states the accused took her towards the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road. They gang-raped her inside the moving vehicle as it passed through isolated stretches amid dense fog. The Faridabad police arrested two men from Uttar Pradesh in connection with this case.
