Surat, March 14: Utran police arrested two men for repeatedly raping a 37-year-old woman for 48 hours in Surat. The survivor, a Maharashtra native, was traveling to Amravati with her five-year-old child when one of the accused lured her at the Ahmedabad bus stand. Claiming to know her husband, he offered to help but instead took her to a deserted spot and assaulted her. Another man later found her alone and also raped her.

As per a Times of India report, the woman was stranded at the Udhna railway station in Surat when the first accused, Haresh, took her to a secluded area under the pretense of assistance. He left her on a footpath, promising to return, but later came back, assaulted her, and robbed her of her ornaments and cash. A few hours later, another man, Shankar, noticed her alone and also sexually assaulted her. Surat Shocker: 2 Robbers Gang-Rape Woman in Gujarat After Holding Her Husband Hostage, Flee With Cash and Valuables; Probe Launched.

On Wednesday morning, a passerby walking his dog spotted the distressed woman and alerted the police.
