A 20-year-old girl has been reportedly gangraped by illegal liquor sellers in the Indian capital of Delhi.

The attackers then tonsured her, garlanded her with slippers and paraded her blackened face in the Kasturba Nagar area of the city.

Chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal tweeted the lady’s ordeal on Thursday:

“In Kasturba Nagar, a 20-year-old girl was gang-raped by illegal liquor sellers, made her bald, wore a garland of slippers and turned her face black in the entire area.

“I am issuing notice to Delhi Police. All criminal men and women should be arrested and the girl and her family should be given security”.

Her tweet got viral, with one person responding: “Shame on Delhi! 20 year old girl was kidnapped and gang-raped, then went bald and soot on her face in the streets”.
