Woman gang raped in a hospital of Kolkata, two employees held
The woman, a resident of Murshidabad district’s Bahrampur, came to the hospital to visit a relative admitted there when the two accused - employed as liftman - pounced on her, police said.
“On the basis of her complaint filed on Saturday, we have arrested the two accused - Masum Ali Khan and Haider Ali. A medical test on the victim has been conducted and the report is awaited,” said a police officer.
The incident has created a sense of insecurity among female hospital staff as well as attendants of patients.
“I have to go to buy medicines late in the night. But after this incident, I would be afraid to venture out alone in the night,” said a female relative of a patient.
The accused have been reportedly identified as Masum and Haider, both employed as lift operators at the hospital.
The incident occurred on Friday night when the woman was visiting her relative admitted to the hospital. The two men saw her seeking help from others to find the ward of her relative when they approached her offering help.
However, instead of taking her to the ward, they took the woman to an empty room where they raped her, the complainant alleged.
