In an incident that has shocked the national Capital, a Tibetan woman was gang-raped by two persons at a prominent five-star hotel situated in South Delhi. The victim, who worked as a nurse with a leading superspecialty hospital, was sent to take care of ailing mother of the chairman of The Oberoi.
The two accused employees who are working as private caretakers subjugated her and took turns in raping her. They threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed the incident to police. The woman was terrified and kept mum but could not take it any more after the duo tried to rape her again. She reported the matter to police and the culprits were hauled up before being packed off to Tihar in judicial custody.
According to a police official of South-East district, the nurse was raped on August 15 by the two accused, Neeraj (25) and Rajan (25), who worked as personal attendants of the chairman of the hotel at Dr Zakir Hussain Marg. Neeraj was employed some eight months ago and his job was to look after the ageing mother of the chairman while Rajan was employed six months ago.
Meanwhile, a statement released by the hotel termed the incident as unfortunate. “The individuals in question are not hotel employees. We are cooperating with police with the investigation,” it said.
