Intruder rapes woman inside S. Delhi home

The national capital continues to be a nightmare for women. In a recent incident, a 27year- old woman living in South Delhi locality was allegedly raped and robbed by a stranger who managed to sneak into in her house while she was away and attacked her when she returned.

The incident took place last week when the research associate had gone out for work. When she returned home, a six- feet- tall man grabbed her throat from behind. He threatened her of dire consequences if she raised an alarm, claimed the woman.

The Delhi police has registered a case under the appropriate sections of law for rape, causing hurt, criminal intimidation, attempt to murder, robbery, and wrongful confinement. “He tied my hands and feet. He even made me speak to my mother. Despite being so shocked and scared, I spoke to her as if everything was fine with me,” the complaint told the police.

The victim further said that after a while, the accused forced a bottle of alcohol down her throat. Subsequently, he took her to bed and raped her.

The victim suspects the man had been following her for a long time.

“My entrance to the house is different from the rest of the building and is not easily visible to someone new. He was very casual and spoke to me in both Hindi and English. I fear that he has observed my movements and knows where I work, shop for groceries, and my daily pick- up and drop locations,” she told the police in her complaint.
