In a highly shocking incident, a 19-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a man in Nagpur’s Pardi area. The incident took place on January 21 and the accused Yogilal Rahangdale 52, was arrested from Gondia district.
According to the reports, the accused was working as a supervisor in a spinning mill where the woman was employed as a labourer. The woman, her brother, the accused and another girl lived in rented accommodations in Pardi.
As quoted in the reports, Inspector Sunil Chavan of the Pardipolice station said the woman’s brother and her female friend had gone to their village on January 21 for some work.
As the woman was alone at home, Rahangdale attempted to rape her in the night. When she resisted, he stuffed a piece of cloth in her mouth.
When she fell unconscious, the accused raped her and inserted an iron rod in her private parts, Chavan said, quoting from the complaint filed by the victim.
When she regained consciousness the following morning, the survivor found herself without clothes. She narrated the plight to her brother on his return.
The siblings confronted the accused at the office on January 22. The company officials sent the survivor, her brother and the accused on leave. On developing some pain on Friday, the survivor first lodged a complaint with the police following which she was taken for medical examination. The steel instrument has not been recovered.
