A 20-year-old woman from Congo has alleged gang-rape by two cloth vendors in her house at south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar on Friday.
However, Police, are yet to confirm the incident as CCTV footage of the building did not show any vendor at the time of the attack claimed by the woman.
The victim in her complaint to police claimed that the incident took place around 12.30 pm. She was alone in the rented house in Hauz Rani when two cloth vendors knocked on the main door.
As she wanted to buy some clothes, she allowed the vendors to enter her house. Seeing that the woman was alone in the house, the vendors allegedly subjugated her.
“It is claimed that they gagged her mouth, took turns to rape her and then fled,” said a police officer.
She was also threatened with dire consequences if she informed police. She without delay approached her neighbours and friends, and made a call to the police control room. . Investigating officers have recorded her statement and she was also sent for a medical examination.
“We have gone through the footage of a CCTV camera installed at the entrance of the building where she lives, but no cloth vendors were seen on the available footage since morning to late afternoon,” the officer said.
As the woman was changing her statement, it needs to be verify, said a senior police officer. Police said they are waiting for the woman’s medical medical report to verify her allegations. Police have learnt from her neighbours that she had earlier threatened her landlord to implicate him in a case of rape.
