Air hostess ‘raped’ by staff member at pvt hospital in Gurugram

In a shocking incident, a 46-year-old air hostess was allegedly raped in a well-known private hospital by a staff member while she was on a ventilator in the ICU. An FIR has been registered at Sadar police station.

According to a complaint filed by the air hostess, in the presence of a legal adviser, she was staying in a Gurugram hotel for training, when she nearly drowned in its swimming pool and was rushed to a private hospital. On April 5, her husband admitted her to another private hospital in Gurugram, from where she was discharged on April 13.

“On April 6, I was on a ventilator, and was sexually assaulted by a staff member. I was in an unconscious state at the time of the incident. Two nurses were also there. I was too scared to speak. After being discharged, I told my husband about the assault, and approached the police,” she stated in her complaint.

An FIR was registered against unidentified staff members of the hospital today. “Taking further action in the case, the victim’s statement has been recorded before a magistrate. The police team is examining the footage of the hospital’s CCTV cameras and will soon identify the accused. A probe is underway and the accused will be arrested soon,” said the spokesperson for the Gurugram police.

This is not the first such incident in Gurugram’s private hospitals. In July last year, a 51-year-old woman from Kazakhstan was raped by an attendant in a private hospital. The accused was later arrested.

In October 2020, a 21-year-old tuberculosis patient admitted to a private hospital was allegedly raped by a member of the staff while she was in a semi-conscious condition on the ventilator.
