A 21-year-old woman, who was admitted to Fortis Hospital in Gurugram for tuberculosis treatment, was allegedly raped in their intensive care unit, reported NDTV on Thursday, 29 October.
The woman was raped repeatedly while she was in semi-conscious condition between 21 and 27 October, reports said.
She wrote about the alleged assault in a note and gave it to her father and used sign language to explain it to him.
No arrest has been made in connection with the case and the cops are trying to ascertain if the attacker is an employee of the hospital.
“Six days after admission, the patient alleged that she has been violated on the day of admission. Post her complaint, we immediately informed the police. We have a zero-tolerance policy in such situations and are extending full cooperation and support including entire CCTV footage to the police,” the hospital said.
