A 19-year-old security guard who was employed by a housing society in Ghaziabad died on Monday after being allegedly raped by her supervisor, according to the police.
Ajay, the accused (32), has reportedly been taken into custody.
The crime, according to the police, happened on Sunday. As the victim’s condition began to worsen, her coworkers had her admitted to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital. On the early hours of Monday, she passed away.
The woman belonged to Jharkhand and was living with her aunt in the close vicinity of the housing society, a senior police officer said.
Her family, however, alleged that she was raped by three men in the basement of the society and thereafter consumed poison due to which she was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital.
DCP (rural) Vivek Chand Yadav told PTI that the police have registered an FIR under section of rape (376 IPC) as he said the woman was not gang-raped. He said police have obtained footage from CCTV cameras installed inside the basement in which no such incident of gang-rape was observed.
