AHMEDABAD: A 20-year-old woman from Rajasthan, who came to the city around a week ago to work as a domestic help in a house in Prahladnagar, was allegedly raped on Sunday night by a domestic worker in the house where both of them were working, said cops on Tuesday.
According to Anandnagar police, the incident took place when she was alone in the servant room of the house. The accused allegedly thrashed and raped her.
After the incident, he fled from there and the woman told her family members about the incident and later informed her employers.
She approached Anandnagar police on Monday and filed a complaint of rape against the accused.
Inspector A S Roy of Anandnagar police said, “We cannot reveal the accused’s identity as he would come to know through media reports that an FIR has been registered against him and it would then be difficult to catch him.”
“In past also, we could not nab accused in sensitive cases just because the accused’s name was revealed in media reports,” he added. On a query about the victim’s employer, he remained tightlipped.
He said that the victim has been sent for medical examination and the cops are trying to nab the accused.
Domestic workers were not registered
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
