A woman employed with a private airline alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a hospital staff member at the Medanta Hospital in Gurugram while she was on a ventilator there earlier this month.
The police have registered an FIR at the Sadar Police Station in the presence of a lawyer.
As per the details, the woman had come to Gurugram for training and was staying at a hotel. She fell ill after almost drowning while swimming, and was admitted to a hospital for treatment. On April 5, her husband shifted her to Medanta for further care.
The woman has alleged that on April 6, while she was on a ventilator, a hospital staff member sexually assaulted her. She said she was unable to speak at the time because she was not fully conscious, and was frightened. She said two nurses were also present nearby.
After she was discharged on April 13, she informed her husband about the incident, and they then reported it to the police.
The police stated that the woman’s statement has been recorded before a magistrate and the police are reviewing CCTV footage from the hospital to identify the accused.
In a statement, the hospital said it was cooperating with the investigation, and all relevant material, including CCTV footage, had been handed over to the police.
