They did obscene things to me in car, cops trying to make me culprit, says woman gang-raped in Kochi

KOCHI: A 19-year-old woman who was gang-raped in Kochi says that the police are trying to make the complainant the culprit. The girl responded that her mobile phone has been seized and the police say that they cannot give it to her.

"I went to the cafe in Kakkanad to eat with my friend Dolly. Dolly called me to a party. I did not know the young men with them. I went to the party because I was forced. At the bar, I danced. I collapsed after drinking beer. I don't know what was mixed in it. They took me and put me in a car. The three of them did obscene things to me in the car. I could not react at that time. When my boyfriend called, I kept the phone on'' - the woman said.

The incident started at Atlantis hotel in Ernakulam on Thursday night. The young lady collapsed while drinking with Dimple Lava after a DJ party here. The men who came to help managed to get rid of the Rajasthan woman saying that they would take her to her residence in Kakkanad. The case is that the accused men took turns in raping the woman in Vivek's brand new Mahindra Thar after roaming around the city. The woman was dropped off in front of the OYO stay near Kakkanad Infopark where she was staying.

The woman, a native of Kasaragod, arrived here a few days ago. After this, the woman called her friend and informed this. She sought treatment at a private hospital in Thrikkakara on Friday morning. The friend informed the incident to the police. After the Infopark police took her statement, the woman was shifted to the Medical College Hospital.

The addresses given by the youth at the bar were fake. On quizzing the Rajasthan woman, police found the original information. The case was handed over to South Police. The Mahindra Thar has been taken into police custody.
