Alwar, June 07: In a shocking incident at ESIC Medical College, Alwar, Rajasthan, a 32-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a member of the hospital’s nursing staff inside the ICU on June 4. As per the FIR, the survivor was administered a sedative injection before the assault, while her family waited just outside the ward.

According to police reports, the victim was in a semi-conscious state when she began calling her husband’s name. Ward staff responded and brought him to her bedside, but due to the sedative, she was unable to clearly describe the ordeal at that time. Curtains had reportedly been drawn around her bed by the accused. The next morning, upon regaining full consciousness, she narrated the incident to her family. Lucknow Rape Horror: Toddler Kidnapped, Gang-Raped in Uttar Pradesh, Left Unconscious Under Chandanagar Metro Bridge.

The woman’s husband alleged that when he approached the hospital administration, officials tried to hush up the matter. The accused reportedly even apologised in front of hospital staff, but no immediate action was taken. Another witness, the husband of a fellow ICU patient, corroborated the survivor’s claims, stating that a “wrong act” was committed during the night. Agra Horror: Man Rapes 5-Year-Old Girl Inside Temple in Uttar Pradesh, Arrested As Disturbing Video of Sex Assault Surfaces.
