Indian rape gang ‘tried to run over victim’

A gang of men who raped a woman on a bus in New Delhi last month tried to run her over after the attack which left her fatally injured, reports said, citing a police account.

Her boyfriend, who was beaten up and thrown off the bus after the woman had been repeatedly raped, managed to pull her away before they were able to run her over, police are set to allege in a 1,000-page charge sheet to be presented in court today.

The 23-year-old female medical student, who died in hospital days after the attack, bit three of her attackers as she attempted to fight them off, local newspapers and TV reports said.
