The woman, 22, is now in intensive care with reports suggesting she suffered multiple injuries, both internal and external.

The man the victim was with - in an area known as Lower Parel - was tied up and assaulted.
The victims' statements have been recorded and sketches of suspects have been released by the police.
Two of the attackers reportedly called each other by name - Rupesh and Saijid.
Police said they have arrested five people over the gang-rape.
