A 30-YEAR-OLD woman was allegedly raped by her colleague inside the
office of a private medical college in Pilakhua area of Hapur three days
ago. The woman, a Class IV employee of the college, is a widow and the
mother of a toddler. She had joined the college last month. The accused,
who is a supervisor, was arrested on Tuesday evening.
The
incident came to light when the woman was found on the campus late
Saturday and was admitted to the college hospital. On Tuesday, the
police shifted her to the district hospital, where she was examined. The
medical report is awaited.
“We have got evidence of the
accused indulging in the act... including CCTV footage. The woman
sustained injuries and fell unconscious, as the accused pushed her to
the floor... We will initiate action against the college administration
for concealing the incident for two days and trying to shelter the
accused,” Pilakhua Circle Officer Atul Yadav said.
“We have
recorded the victim’s statement. She has claimed that a supervisor raped
her,” said Pilakhua police SHO Ajay Kumar Yadav. The victim has claimed
that she does not know the name of the accused, as she joined recently,
he added.
The college authorities were not available for comment.
