Imphal, Dec 30: A 24-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a man in his mid 30s in a hotel in Imphal where the victim planned to halt a night along with her brother-in-law as they missed the last bus.
The incident came to light when Paolenmang Khongsai, 22, the brother-in-law of the victim launched a written complaint with the Imphal City police in which he stated that on December 27, he along with his sister-in-law came to Imphal from Saikul, but they had to stay back the night in a hotel here as there was no more bus heading for Litan in Ukhrul district.
The in-laws are from Saikho village in Saikul of Senapati district. The police refused to name the victim.
They came across a man, Md. Fakrauddin who guided them to a hotel to stay for the night, but the accused forcefully proposed Paolenmang that his sister-in-law ‘used’ for a night in exchange for a money but the proposal was flatly refused, the complaint report further said.
It said Fakrauddin later threatened them and forcibly led the victim to another room of Tomba Hotel located at Govenor Road on the pretext of providing her a safe separate room and sexually assaulted her twice.
Sensing false at the indecent attitude of the alleged rapist, Paolenmang searched for her sister-in-law after some time that night inside the hotel for about an hour only to find her the next day morning of December 28 in a secret room of the hotel where she had been raped twice by the accused, the complaint added.
