CHANDIGARH: The police on Monday identified two youths from Ambala in Haryana, who could be involved in the alleged abduction and rape of a German tourist here.
Refusing to name the two youths, ASP Madhur Verma said, the car used by them to dump the girl was recovered in Ambala. He said police teams had been rushed there to nab the youths.
A case of attempt to rape, abduction and molestation has been registered against six youths in connection with the incident. The CFSL would submit its report within the next three to four days and it will be a “conclusive evidence” against the culprits, he said. The police have also intimated the German Embassy in New Delhi about the incident.
Six youths had allegedly abducted and raped the German tourist from the parking lot of a hotel in Chandigarh’s Sector 17, early on Sunday, just a day after the Union Territory administration launched the tourism police.
The victim had bite marks on her body. In her complaint to the police she alleged that the youths had beaten her up. Her clothes were also torn. Her medical examination on Monday confirmed that she had been raped, the police said.
Earlier, the police had said she was giving conflicting statements leaving them clueless. They admitted, however, that the bruises on her body indicated it was more than just a molestation bid.
The victim told the police that she had gone to the hotel for a party on Saturday night and had some drinks there. Around 2.20 am, she stepped out for a smoke. She found a group of youths standing by a Scorpio. She got into a conversation with them and agreed to take a ride with them. But she was allegedly whisked away before she could raise an alarm.
According to another version, however, she had come out of the hotel for a smoke and saw some youths standing near a Scorpio. She was in an inebriated state and told them that they had parked the vehicle wrongly. One of the youths then told her to park it the right way. She got into the vehicle and drove out of the parking lot towards Matka Chowk, from where the youths took the vehicle, taking her along with them. Ten hours later she was dumped in Sector 20.
She later told the police that the youths kept driving for some hours before taking her to a room, where they tried to rape her. When she resisted their attempts, one of the youths thrashed her and tore her clothes.
Around 9 am, they took her out of the room and again drove for about four hours before transferring her to a white Maruti car in which two persons were sitting. The duo dumped her in Sector 20.
A police officer said she had given the registration numbers of the vehicles, but one of which was found to be fake.
The German said she had come to the city on September 23 to attend the wedding of some Indian friends.
The police swung into action in the morning. Police teams were dispatched to raid resorts, hotels and guesthouses in Zirakpur, Panchkula and nearby places. Chandigarh SSP S Srivastava had said the accused had been identified as residents of Ropar and raids were being conducted to nab them.
