On May 29, the woman reportedly got into an autorickshaw with her eight-month-old daughter around midnight to go to her parents' house in Gurugram.

"When my child started crying, they tried to smother my baby. And then they threw her on the footpath," PTI quoted the woman as saying. "I requested them to stop, saying my child is crying. After that, they raped me on the road."

After the men left, she went looking for her infant who had died by then due to head injuries.

The case sparked an outrage when Indian media reported that the woman took her daughter to the hospital on the metro, unaware that the baby was already dead.

A case was filed with the police on June 3.
