A 17-year-old survivor led Delhi Police to the secluded Aastha Kunj Park spots where she was allegedly gang-raped. Her account helped investigators recover forensic evidence and arrest three accused while security lapses at the park came under scrutiny.

The police are examining whether the three accused had prior complaints against them, while a gym’s records and material recovered from their phones have added new leads to the investigation.
