Singh is among the two arrested after a long car chase,hails from a well-to-do family and owns ‘Little Pride’ ,a play school franchise with his sister in Faridabad,Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Delhi),Chhaya Sharma,said.

On Saturday he purchased a Scorpio SUV for the school; the same vehicle allegedly used in the horrific act later that night.

Singh and his four friends allegedly harassed four women outside a Gurgaon mall,followed their taxi and abducted one of them. However,they were chased by police and three of his friends escaped.

Giving the antecedents of the other accused,police said two are sons of retired head constables of Haryana Police.

“Deepak (20) is the son of a retired police head constable. He completed Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA) from DAV College in Faridabad and was unemployed,” Sharma said.

Deepak’s cousin,Arun (26),also a retired constable’s son,hails from Bhankdi village in Faridabad.

The third accused,Ravish Nagar (24) was driving the SUV. He is from Tigaon village in Ballabhgarh and was pursuing BBA from DAV College,Faridabad.

Police said when officials went to the houses of the absconders,they were found locked.

Five police teams,comprising special staff and officials from Fatehpur Beri police station,to Faridabad,Ballabhgarh and other areas of Haryana have been dispatched in search of the three men. Authorities are also contacting their friends to check if the accused had contacted them for help.

Regarding the victims,police said two of them were related to each other and work in Delhi.

“The other two,including one who is married with two children,are from a small town and the duo had gone to show them around the malls. Initially,the women were in shock and trauma Later,they relaxed and gave all information,” Sharma said.

According to police,the accused had consumed liquor in Faridabad as they were celebrating the purchase of Kartar Singh’s SUV.

“One bottle was recovered from the car. Then went to Gurgaon but were refused entry into two night clubs. They finally got entry in Pigeon’s night club in Gurgaon and had drinks there. They then misbehaved with the girls,”said Sharma.

Clinical psychologist,Dr Rajat Mitra,who interviewed the four victims after the incident said their confidence was badly shaken up.

“One of them is married with two children. The women constantly fear the presence of a big vehicle like an SUV and shiver whenever they spot a group of men approaching them. The accused were quite hefty and well-built and that might add to the fear of seeing men of this size,” Mitra said.
