A 22-year-old Australian woman was allegedly raped in Kasol village of Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh by a man she knew as her Facebook friend.
The woman has lodged a complaint with Kullu police that a resident of Chandigarh, who she knew as ‘Sammy Sidhana’ on the networking site, raped her in a hotel room on Saturday when she was “unconscious” after attending a party. When she woke up Sidhana, who she had met on that very day, was in the hotel room with her. The victim has told police that she was in touch with the accused on Facebook for a long time and had messaged him about her location when she reached India.
“Search is on for the accused. We are also verifying rape. A case under IPC Section 376(A) has been made,” Kullu police chief said.
