The Woman Was Raped in a Delhi Hotel, Where a Staffer Also Molested Her
NEW DELHI: A 36-year-old UK national was allegedly sexually assaulted by a man she met on Instagram at a hotel in Delhi's Mahipalpur area, where a staffer also allegedly molested her during the ordeal, police said on Thursday, citing the woman's complaint.
Delhi Police arrested both men, invoking charges of rape and molestation under the Bharatiya Nayay Sanhita.
Deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Surendra Chaudhary confirmed the incident happened but refrained from sharing more details.
A senior police officer said the accused were identified as Kailash Gautam, 26, a resident of east Delhi's Gharoli, and Mohammed Gulfam, 27, a housekeeping staffer at the hotel. "A case was registered on her complaint and the accused were arrested within two hours after the matter was reported," the officer said, on condition of anonymity.
