Ministers, top brass take stock of alleged rape at Gandhi Hospital
The Hindu
Police investigating all angles
A day after it was reported that a woman was allegedly raped in Gandhi Hospital, ministers of the Telangana government and top police officers convened a meeting to take stock of the situation. Police on Tuesday said the woman was taken for medical examination, and later to the Bharosa Centre of Hyderabad police where her statement was recorded. Sources also said that the woman failed to identify the security guards who allegedly sexually assaulted her by confining her in a room. “Based on her complaint, we have registered rape case and a probe is on in all angles. However, possibility of repeated sexual assault on her inside the hospital is raising doubts, as there is constant movement of patients, their attendants, doctors, hospital staff and even police officers in some case, in every floor,” an officer requesting anonymity said, adding that the search for another woman who is missing is underway.More Related News
