A 35-year-old Nigerian woman has been gang-raped in a moving car in Delhi, India.

The woman was found unconscious in Mayur Vihar area in east Delhi around 2.43am Friday.

According to AFP, the 35-year-old Nigerian woman, who has been staying in India on a tourist visa, told police the men kidnapped her after midnight this morning outside a popular shopping mall in New Delhi’s Saket area before bundling her into a car.

They then drove for around half an hour, during which time the alleged gang rape took place, before pushing her out of the vehicle.

The woman, who cannot be named, was finally rescued after a passerby spotted her on the side of the road in Mayur Vihar, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) away in east Delhi.

“We have received a complaint from the woman and investigations are on-going,” Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told AFP.

“We have filed a case under relevant sections.”

Bhagat said four Indian men have been arrested.
