Shivamogga: A gang rape took place on a girl Saturday night at the Mcgann Teaching Hospital.
With the pretext of taking the girl for lunch, she was lured into a car and gang-raped by the ward boy and his three other friends.
She was in the hospital for the past month to take care of her Covid-19 affected mother. She got acquainted of the ward boy Manoj while getting meals from the nearby hotel.
Due to the recent communal riots, Shimoga city has been under complete lockdown for the past three days and the boy promised to take her out for dinner on Dec 5.
Believing the boy, the girl walked into the car to find Manoj’s other three friends sitting in the car. Manoj and his accomplices repeatedly gang-raped the girl in the back seat of the car.
The girl walked into the hospital suffering from psychological trauma and informed her mother. Subsequently, she informed the Sakhi Centre in the hospital about the incident and the Doddapette police station arrested Manoj and managed to trap his other accomplices.
It has come to light that Manoj and his accomplices have been planning this for several days. They also found that the car was parked in the hospital premises one hour before dinner.
