33-year-old accuses Chandigarh bizman of raping her in CP

A 33-year-old Delhi-based businesswoman was allegedly raped by a man whom she had met over lunch to discuss business at a hotel in Connaught Place area on Friday afternoon. According to the police, the accused was known to the victim as she claimed to have met him a few times earlier in Chandigarh.

Police said that the incident came to light when the woman living in South Delhi’s Defence Colony, owning a business enterprise, called up the police to report the matter.

“The complainant informed us that she met the accused today (Friday) over lunch to discuss business matters. She said that the man, who is a businessman from Chandigarh, spiked her drink with sedatives and took her to a room in the hotel in the inner circle of Connaught Place, where he forced himself upon her. The woman informed that she made a PCR call at 7.59 pm on Friday evening after she regained consciousness. However, by that time the accused had left,” said a senior police official.

A case has been registered under IPC Section 376 (rape) at the Connaught Place police station against the accused man. 

Police said that the incident is being verified and constant efforts are being made to track the man who is absconding.
