GURGAON: A man working for a gift retailer has been arrested for allegedly raping a 22-year-old co-worker after an official party at a club near Manesar on NH8. The accused has been identified as 27-year-old Sumit, a native of Bhiwani. The father of the victim had filed a complaint with the Gurgaon Police on Sunday afternoon. According to the complaint, the woman, who had joined the company a few months ago, was among 50 employees who had gone to the club for an official get-together. The woman said she was inebriated when a co-worker, who had also joined a few months ago, took her to a room and raped her. “I had a few drinks with my colleagues and was not in my senses. I was on my way to my room when this guy took me to his room. It was only after I was sober again that I realized what had happened. Not just police, even my company should take some stern steps to ensure that nothing of this sort happens to anybody,” the victim told the police. The company officials have not issued any clarification in this regard so far. The police are questioning other employees present at the party.

The medical test of the victim has confirmed rape,” said Rahul Sharma, DCP (South).   ——– SOURCE: TIMES OF INDIA
