New Delhi, August 8: The Unnao rape survivor, who has been left critically injured in a road accident last month, was rushed to the AIIMS Trauma Centre from the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport using a green corridor prepared by the Delhi Traffic Police. The corridor allowed the ambulance to cover a journey of 14 kilometres in 18 minutes.

The rape survivor, who suffered critical injuries in a car-truck collision last week, was airlifted to New Delhi from Lucknow on Monday evening for further treatment following Supreme Court directives in this regard, police said. Delhi Court Directs Unnao Rape Case Accused Kuldeep Sengar Be Shifted to Tihar Jail

"On the advice of AIIMS doctors, the journey of the ambulance carrying the injured person was facilitated by providing free passage. The ambulance left T-1 airport at 9 pm and reached the AIIMS Trauma Centre at 9.18 pm," a senior police officer said.

She was brought to AIIMS Trauma Centre from T1 via Thimayya Marg, Parade Road, GGR, Dhaula Kuan loop, Ring Road, Moti Bagh flyover, Hyatt flyover, under Raj Nagar flyover and Jhandu Singh Marg to the hospital through emergency gate, police said.

According to sources, she was admitted in the ICU of Trauma Centre on Monday night. The woman has been admitted to the AIIMS Trauma Centre and a team of doctors is monitoring her treatment, the sources added.

She and her lawyer suffered critical injuries on July 28 when the car, in which they and two others were travelling, was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli. Two of her relatives were killed in the accident.

Based on the complaint registered by the victim's uncle, the UP Police had booked a case against BJP MLA from Bangermau, Kuldeep Singh Sengar and eight others. After the CBI took over the case, it replicated the FIR filed against Sengar and other accused. The legislator is also charged of raping the victim when she was a minor in June 2017.
