A woman leapt from a balcony after she was allegedly locked up and gang-raped by five men in East Delhi.

The 28-year-old claimed that one of the men, an acquaintance, offered to drop her home in south Delhi, but instead forcibly took her to a rented house where all five took turns to rape her.

Five men have been arrested following the incident overnight on Saturday, The Times of India reports.

The single mother-of-two was driven to Pandav Nagar, in East Delhi, with three of her alleged attackers in the car, police were told.

Once there, the men took to her to a house, where two others were waiting, and allegedly took turns to rape her.

The woman said that she then fell unconscious and the men locked her in the room.

After gaining consciousness on Sunday morning, she tried to call for help.

When the young men returned to the room and tried to open the balcony door, she rushed out and jumped off of the first-floor flat before they could reach her, it is claimed.

She was found by the roadside by local police after she called for assistance at about 5.30am.

Paramedics took her to hospital where she was treated for her injuries and counselled.

A medical examination confirmed the sexual assault and gang rape case has been registered on the basis of her statement, The Times of India wrote.
