Another foreigner cries sexual assault

In a second case of sexual crime against a foreigner here in a week, an Uzbek national has accused an Indian man of raping her on the pretext of marriage and forcing her into prostitution.

Last Saturday, a Belgian woman had accused an Ola-cab driver of molesting her in the cab while she was going to her friend's house in south east Delhi's CR Park area.
In the present incident where an Uzbek woman has alleged being raped by an Indian man, a case has been registered in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj police station, and the woman has been sent for medical examination, police said.

“The accused is absconding and police is raiding multiple locations where he could be hiding,” said a police officer.

Met on Facebook
The woman in her mid twenties alleged in her complaint that she had met a person
Altaf on Facebook a few weeks back.

During their interactions on the social media site, Altaf expressed his love for the woman and proposed to marry her, the woman said in her complaint.

Convinced by the promises of her alleged lover, the woman arrived in India a week back thinking of marrying him.

In Delhi, the woman met Altaf in a hotel where they had sex for some days. The woman also alleged that Altaf took her to his house where they spent some nights together.
However, after living together for a few days, the woman got to know about the real intentions of Altaf when he tried to push her into prostitution.

She also alleged that Altaf had claimed to her that he was a bachelor when they first met on facebook. But in India she came to know that he was married to a woman named Anjali and have children with her.

“We are trying to ascertain the claims of the woman. We are also finding out whether Altaf was already married or not,” said a police officer.

Physically tortured
The woman also alleged that she was physically tortured by Altaf during her stay with him, and her passport, visa, mobile and money were snatched by him.

The woman told police on Saturday that she contacted her Uzbek friend who lives in Delhi, and told her about the ordeal she had been going through since her arrival in India.

The woman’s friend took her to the Vasant Kunj (north) police station where her case was registered on Saturday night.

According to police, there are several cases registered against the alleged wife of the prime accused Altaf, but whether or not they two are married is a matter of investigation.
