After the Kolkata doctor case, the nursing student was allegedly drugged and raped by an auto driver in Ratnagiri.
In a distressing incident in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, a nursing student was allegedly raped by an auto-rickshaw driver on Monday night while returning home. The accused driver reportedly offered the student water laced with an intoxicant. After consuming the water, the girl became unconscious, enabling the driver to take her to a secluded area where he allegedly raped her.
Once the victim regained consciousness, she informed her family about the ordeal. Based on her statement, the police quickly registered a case and initiated an investigation. The authorities are analyzing CCTV footage to identify and locate the accused driver. The incident sparked public outrage, leading residents to stage a “Rasta Roko Andolan” (roadblock protest), demanding immediate and strict action against the perpetrator.
The police have taken the matter seriously and are working on gathering evidence to bring the culprit to justice. The victim has been admitted to a government hospital for medical treatment and further care.
This case has resonated with many, coming soon after a similar incident in Kolkata, where a woman doctor was raped and murdered, leading to nationwide protests and legal interventions.
