The arrested accused have been identified as Vishnu and Saroj.

"The names of Vishnu and Sanoj are among the arrested accused. Accused Vishnu is a resident of Agra and was currently living in Sanjay Enclave, Faridabad. The accused Sanoj is a resident of Parvatiya Colony," Sube Singh, a Police spokesperson said.

According to officials, the incident took place on Sunday night.

The victim had come to the Town Park, in Sector 12 for a walk at around 8 pm. She took an auto-rickshaw from the town park to her home at around 9.45 pm.
