A British traveler visiting India had a horrifying experience when she was sexually assaulted at a Mahipalpur hotel by a man she had connected with on Instagram. His acquaintance has also been accused of misconduct.

Trip takes a dark turn

The woman had initially planned a vacation in Maharashtra and Goa. During her journey, she contacted Kailash, whom she had befriended online, and invited him to meet her. However, he refused to travel and instead urged her to visit Delhi.

Upon reaching the capital on Tuesday, she checked into a hotel in Mahipalpur and later summoned Kailash. He arrived accompanied by his friend, Wasim. That night, the woman was allegedly violated by Kailash, while Wasim has been accused of inappropriate behavior.

Authorities take swift action

The following morning, she reported the incident at Vasant Kunj police station. Officials swiftly acted by detaining Kailash, who is employed in a private company, while Wasim also faces legal repercussions. As per standard protocol, law enforcement alerted the British High Commission, which is now extending support to the victim.

Lost in translation

Investigators discovered that Kailash struggled with English and relied on Google Translate to converse with her. This language barrier might have added to the misunderstandings during their interaction.
