The woman was staying in a five-star hotel in Connaught Place.

Delhi has once again woken up hearing the story of a brutal gang rape and this time the victim is a tourist from the United States who was allegedly gang raped by five men including her guide at a five-star hotel in Connaught Place.

According to police, the complaint was filed by the woman via an email that said she would directly come to the station once the FIR is registered. The police confirmed that the email had a very details explanation of the ordeal the US citizen had to endure at the hands of her rapists.

The email was sent to the official account of police commissioner cp-delhi.nic.in which was publicized after Delhi police mooted the initiative to make the city safe for the woman after a string of rape cases questioned the capability of the Delhi police.

In the email, the woman says she arrived in Delhi in March on a tourist visa and was staying in a five-star hotel in Connaught Place. She was provided a tourist guide by the agency approved by the hotel.

According to the statement, the guide showed her around the city and one day, suggesting that they should discuss the route plan for the coming days, the guide along with four others came to her room. They had a few beverages following which the guide sexually assaulted her and later his friends took turns and raped her brutally.

The email says the victim left immediately for the US, traumatized by the incident. The woman fell into depression after she failed to share what happened to her back in India even with her parents.

At last, she approached an NGO that managed India affairs and took up the matter. They advised the woman to register an email complaint using the ID provided by the Delhi police. Soon after the Commissioner of Police received the email complaint, it was transferred to the Connaught Place police station for further investigation.

Police have confirmed that the investigation has already started and they are on the right track in identifying the guide and his accomplices. Police have already questioned a few staffs of the five-star hotel to identify the guide.

The authorities have confirmed that they have registered a case of gang-raping with regard to the email complaint received from the woman.

Police have also questioned the employees of the travel agency that provided the guide to the five-star hotel.

The police have also requested the US Embassy to provide details of the woman and her purpose of visit. An officer has been put in charge to act as liaison with the woman and her lawyer.
