New Delhi: A 25-year-old doctor working with the Employees’ State Insurance Scheme (ESIS) hospital in west Delhi has been allegedly gangraped by three persons and left half dead on September 20.

The police said, “The authorities of the hospital reported that general physician and resident doctor was found unconscious and brutally injured as a result of gang rape at the Raja Garden hostel of the state-run ESI hospital on Thursday night. She was admitted to the emergency ward in the same hospital.”

A senior police functionary inquiring the matter said, “Doctors informed that there were strangulation marks on her neck and injuries on her private parts. She was hurt badly and for better treatment she was shifted to a private hospital.”

For that reason, she is admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Balaji Healthcare Hospital in Paschim Vihar. The physicians at the Balaji hospital stated that her condition was still critical and not fit to answer or make any police statement.

“We have registered a case under section 307 for attempting to rape and murder against unknown assailants. But it seems that the victim was gang raped. We will convert into a rape case after taking her statement,” the police official told.

She belongs to Punjab, and was living with her sister at the hostel.

Police officer of Moti Nagar police station sounded out that they have filed a case under section 307 for attempting to rape and murder against unidentified assaulters.

The doctor was reportedly found on the floor with her clothes torn and injury marks on body parts and strangulation marks on the neck.

“Investigations suggest that the accused were familiar to the victim. We have identified them and would make arrests only after the victim's statement. We hope to record her plea in next two days. It seems that the victim was gang raped. We will convert into a rape case,” the official added.
