‘Gangraped and humiliated’: Family of assaulted Delhi woman narrates a history of intimidation

On the afternoon of January 27, the small room in Delhi’s Kasturba Nagar stood abandoned.

A fridge lay toppled on the ground, a handful of medicines scattered on the bed. A framed photo of a man hung on the wall, labelled “Late Ayush Nahariya. 12.11.2021”. Almost exactly under this photo was a handful of hair on the ground, outlined in yellow chalk.
