Lucknow Horror: Model Drugged and Gang-Raped in Hotel and Moving Vehicle; Two Suspects Arrested
A shocking incident of gang rape has surfaced in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, where a young model was lured under the pretext of being offered a role in a film and was subsequently assaulted in a hotel and a moving Scorpio vehicle. The police have arrested two suspects and are actively searching for the third.
The victim, a model from Kanpur, reported that she had become acquainted with a man named Vipin Singh through Instagram. Vipin convinced her to travel from Kanpur to Lucknow, promising a meeting with a film director. Upon arriving in Lucknow, she was picked up by Vipin in a Scorpio and taken to a hotel in the Chinhat area.
According to the victim, upon arriving at the hotel, she was introduced to another man, who was presented as a film director. Later, under the pretense of dropping her off, the men drove her around in the Scorpio. During the drive, she was drugged and lost consciousness. The three men then took turns raping her in the car and later in the hotel room.
When the victim regained consciousness, she found herself in the hotel room with bruises on her body. Despite her injuries, she managed to escape and reached a police station, where she filed a complaint. The police promptly registered a case of gang rape and other related charges against Vipin Singh, Vinay Singh, and Inam Singh.
DCP East Shashank Singh stated that the accused lured the victim with the false promise of a film role and then assaulted her in the hotel. The police have arrested two of the suspects, and efforts are underway to apprehend the third. The authorities are conducting raids in various locations to bring the third suspect to justice.
This disturbing incident highlights the dangers faced by individuals, particularly women, who are often targeted through social media platforms by predators posing as well-wishers or professionals. The swift action by the police in arresting two suspects is commendable, and it is hoped that the third will be apprehended soon, ensuring justice for the victim.
