A 34-year-old woman has been allegedly raped in Delhi after which she was dumped in a semi-conscious state in Sarai Kale Khan, PTI reported. The victim was spotted by a passerby who then informed the police around 3:30 am on Friday.
As per the police, the woman was taken to AIIMS Trauma Center.
Iit is suspected that the woman was sexually assaulted at a different location before being dumped in the Sarai Kale Khan area. A senior police officer stated that the woman, originally from Odisha, left her hometown a year ago and had been living in Delhi since then.
“The victim stayed with another woman in Delhi’s Katwaria Sarai,” an officer said. In August, she was asked to leave following a dispute and spent several days living on the streets, the officer said. He added that she is a graduate and had previously been spotted in southeast Delhi’s Jamroodpur, where she allegedly attempted to trespass into a house, though no complaint was filed. She also spent a night inside an ATM booth in Kishangarh, he noted.
“She is changing her statement and not cooperating with the investigators. Her parents have been informed and she has been kept under observation,” the officer added.
The police are trying to identify the accused on the basis of CCTV footages and other technical surveillance.
