Rwandan woman gang-raped near DU
NEW DELHI: Five men allegedly assaulted, robbed and gang-raped a 24-year-old woman from Rwanda while she was returning to her residence in the Timarpur area of north Delhi, police said. Shockingly, the police tried to keep the assault under wraps and initially did not file an FIR.
After getting flak from the police brass, cops swung into action and have arrested four accused, three days after the sexual assault on December 3. A hunt has started for the fifth accused. The additional SHO of Timarpur police station has been sent to the district lines as punishment and an inquiry ordered into the police inaction.
Details of the incident were sketchy because cops were tightlipped about it. It is likely the victim had been studying in Delhi University, which has a large number of foreign students, since she lived close to the North campus.
Rape accused also took away the woman's belongings.
Police said they have been identified as Deepak, Ashok, Vikas and Praveen, all aged 24 to 26 years, police said.
A case of rape was registered after a medical examination of the woman confirmed she was raped. The incident took place on December 3. The accused reportedly spotted the woman while she was returning home.
They abducted her and later dumped her outside her rented accommodation in Timarpur after the assault. They also snatched away her belongings including her mobile phone.
The girl managed to reach the local police station and informed her family members as well after seeking help from a local.
The victim is being provided medical help and counselling by an NGO, said police sources. Further investigations are on and the fifth accused will be nabbed soon, said a police officer.
