In a shocking incident, a woman was raped thrice in a day by three different men at three different locations in Lucknow. The police have arrested one Shabab Alam, 25, who raped the woman and left her near Charbagh.
For a second time, she was raped at the riverfront and was later picked up by another man who raped her again. The other two alleged rapists have not been arrested as yet.
The Hazratganj police had received a complaint about a woman lying unconscious near Parivartan Chowk. Police rushed the woman to Queen Mary’s Hospital where she was found to have been raped.
The police have registered a case and started investigating the matter. The three men have no connection with each other.
Station House Officer (SHO), Hazratganj, Shyam Babu Shukla said: “We have registered an FIR under charges of gang rape. The accused, Shabab, has been arrested while a manhunt is on to nab the other accused.”

There is need to give strictest exemplary punishment to perpetrators of such henious crimes.
If it were in Saudi Arabia, these three culprits would have been beheaded before this news is posted. India’s soft stance to such violent crimes seldom discourages such crimes from happening!
