A disturbing incident of rape and abandonment has shaken the national capital, with a 34-year-old woman from Odisha found in a semi-conscious state in Delhi's Sarai Kale Khan area. The incident, reported by the Delhi police on Saturday, highlights the growing concern over women's safety in the city. The victim, who had been living on the streets of Delhi for several days, was allegedly sexually assaulted at an unknown location before being dumped in Sarai Kale Khan, a relatively busy locality.
The victim, who had moved to Delhi a year ago, was reportedly asked to leave her residence in Katwaria Sarai due to a dispute. This forced her to live on the streets for an extended period, making her vulnerable to such attacks. Despite being a graduate, she was seen trying to trespass a house in Jamroodpur, suggesting a desperate situation she was facing. The police also mentioned an incident where she spent a night inside an ATM booth in Kishangarh.
The police are facing challenges in their investigation due to the victim's inconsistent statements and lack of cooperation. Her condition is currently under observation, and authorities have informed her parents about the incident. Meanwhile, the police are relying on CCTV footage and other technical surveillance to identify the accused. The investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being made to gather crucial evidence and bring the perpetrator to justice. This incident raises concerns about the safety of vulnerable individuals in Delhi and underscores the need for robust measures to ensure the security of women and provide adequate support for those in vulnerable situations.
