A 24-year-old Indian computer teacher was brutally raped in Maldives and is in ‘very serious condition’, prompting India to take up the matter with Maldivian government.
A young Indian teacher working on the island of Dhangethi in Alif Dhaal Atoll has been hospitalised after a group of people broke into her home on Sunday night and allegedly raped her, Minivan News reported.
The woman is in a ‘very serious condition’ following the attack, Island Council President Azim Adam was quoted as saying. India has strongly taken up the matter with the Maldivian authorities, official spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi.
He said Indian Mission’s official in Male have spoken to Maldives’ acting Minister for Gender and Family Mariyam Shakeela seeking justice for the victim, a teacher at private computer school.
The Maldivians have assured India that the perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice.
The official said two Indian officials including a woman officer from the mission met the victim at the hospital. The victim had to undergo blood transfusion.
Meanwhile, Adam said, ‘They broke in (to her house) around 2.15 am. I came to know about it at 4 am and I instantly reported it to the police. The girl is in the hospital in very serious condition’. A source said she was in the hospital’s intensive care unit but was ‘bleeding uncontrollably’, the Minivan News said.
