NEW DELHI: A 27-year-old woman from Kazakhstan was allegedly gang-raped by three men in a hotel in central Delhi’s Karol Bagh on Thursday night. Police said the three accused have been arrested on the basis of a complaint registered by the woman.

The woman said in her complaint that she had landed in Delhi on Thursday night and checked into a hotel in Karol Bagh. She met two of the accused men at 10pm for dinner after which they offered to take her to one of their associates in a different hotel, also in Karol Bagh, to discuss work-related matters. The woman told police that she was on a business tour in India. She keeps coming to Delhi for business purposes, said a police official. When in India, she usually hires a particular taxi driver, and she has accused this man, too, of being involved in the crime.

A hotel staffer had heard a woman screaming inside a room. He entered the room and found the woman who then accused the two men present there of raping her. The hotel staff made a PCR call. The woman was medically examined at a government hospital and a case of rape under Section 376G of IPC was registered. Her embassy has been informed about the incident.
