New Delhi: Just few days after a girl was brutally raped and murdered in Rohtak, another shocking incident has come to light from Meerut where a 22-year-old girl was dragged and beaten by the goons on the road as passersby looked on.

The victim, a law student in Meerut college, said in her complaint to the police on Monday that after her father's death last year, she began to work at a local guest house owned by one Subhash Bharti with whom she befriended and later developed physical relations with him.

According to the report in Times of India newspaper, victim accused Bharti of beating her and sending his men to assault her after she rejected his proposal to be a surrogate mother to his child.

A video of the assault taken by someone in the crowd soon went viral, triggering a storm of protests online.

The girl said in her complaint, "On February 3, while I was in the guest house, managers of Aman Hospital, which is located in the same building that houses the guest house, attacked me. The men who attacked me were Mohd Tamur, Nasir, Wajid Ahmad and Amit Kumar. They brutally beat me and dragged me out of the complex."

The woman alleged that her attackers threw her on the road in front of many witnesses but they managed to escape. Strangely though, later, it was Subhash Bharti who got her admitted to a local hospital.

From there, she contacted her college friends who took her to the SSP and showed him video clippings of the assault.

 
Police has filed an FIR and five persons, including Tamur, Murtaza, Subhash Bharti and two women have been arrested.
 
CO (Civil Lines) Vandana Mishra, who is the investigating officer in the case, told the daily on Monday, "There is too much of confusion right now but we are investigating the case thoroughly. The woman says that Subhash Bharti compelled her to have his baby and when she refused he insisted that she have a test tube baby. Why the hospital managers were involved in the case, we still have to find out."
