A 20-year-old man was taken into police custody for allegedly raping an insane woman in the Indian city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday (Oct 22). The latter was later seen walking semi-naked on the streets, according to reports from news agency PTI.
Indore Additional DCP Zone-1 Alok Sharma said that the incident happened on Tuesday and was reportedly recorded on CCTV.
He is from Sagar and had taken the victim to a secluded place and committed rape, said police.
Yesterday we got information that an unidentified woman who was mentally challenged was raped. A complaint had been lodged at the local police station, after which an FIR was registered in connection with the case, said Sharma.
According to News18, Additional DCP said police were alerted by a child who spotted a naked woman roaming around in Neelkanth Colony at about 3:45 am on Tuesday.
The woman was taken to MY Hospital in an ambulance by a patrolling sub-inspector, added Sharma.
He said the accused, Sonu, was arrested while wearing the same clothes as the one spotted in the CCTV footage.
Suspect Sonu was brought before a local court on Wednesday (Oct 23) and remanded to judicial custody.
The woman had “walked for about half a kilometer without clothes after being assaulted,” said a police officer.
Later in the case, Sonu confessed to how he was on drugs on Monday evening and indeed made an attempt to escape. The lady caught up with him as well.
