GURGAON: A 19-year-old student of a private university was allegedly confined, assaulted and raped by her live-in partner following a dispute at their paying guest (PG) accommodation in the Badshahpur area. Sources told TOI that the woman had burns on her body when she was first taken to the Sector 10 hospital, after which she was referred to AIIMS Delhi for advanced care due to the seriousness of her condition.

The accused, also a 19-year-old, was arrested from Delhi shortly after the incident was reported, police officials said. The woman’s mother contacted Badshahpur police station on Feb 19, alleging that her daughter was being confined and harassed by her boyfriend at their PG accommodation. A police team was dispatched to the location. When officers reached the spot, they found the woman visibly injured and took her to the hospital. “In the preliminary investigation, it was found that the victim and the accused met in Sept 2025,” a police officer said. The survivor is originally from Tripura and the accused from Delhi. It was not immediately clear how long she was confined or what made the mother reach out to police. According to police, the woman said in her complaint that she and the accused lived together in the same room. During the course of their relationship, the man frequently questioned her about her activities. Police said that an argument broke out between the two, which escalated to assault and rape. Investigators also said that both families were aware of the relationship and there were talks regarding their wedding. “It came to light during interrogation that the families were discussing the couple’s marriage. However, due to some disagreements, the accused allegedly assaulted the victim,” said Gurgaon police spokesperson ASI Sandeep Turan. Based on a complaint lodged by the woman, a case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Badshapur police station. “Relevant sections were added to the case based on the victim’s complaint and the medical examination report. A detailed probe is being conducted,” Turan said.
