NEW DELHI
Around 10 p.m. the Embassy employee came out of the auditorium and went to the parking lot adjoining Gate No. 4 to get her car parked about 100 yards from the gate. According to the victim — a Swiss national — she was about to get into the vehicle when two men appeared from behind. One of them occupied the driving seat while the other pushed her inside and sat beside her. The culprits drove the vehicle out of the parking lot and on the way the one in the rear seat forced himself upon her. She offered resistance and sustained minor injuries on the neck. After criminally assaulting her and robbing her of a ring, the culprits released her and abandoned the vehicle near Safdarjung Enclave. The victim, who was driven around the city for about half-an-hour, reported the matter to the police at 11.30 p.m. following which she was taken to a hospital for medical examination. She told the police that the one who assaulted her spoke fluent English and was well-dressed. His accomplice, who was at the wheel, also seemed to be from a good background and talked to his friend in Hindi. Investigations have suggested that the duo had gone to the film festival and had apparently met the victim there. About an hour later, two miscreants attacked a documentary film-maker while she was about to start her car in the same parking lot. One of the culprits held her by her neck, while the other unlocked the door. When the victim screamed for help, the assailants beat her up. She fell on the road and sustained a serious head injury. The assailants fled when some guards and visitors rushed to the spot after hearing the victim's screams. She was taken to the Apollo Hospital where she is said to be recuperating. Considering the international ramifications of the two cases, the Delhi Lieutenant-Governor, Vijai Kapoor, the Delhi Police Commissioner, Radhey Shyam Gupta, and other senior police officers visited the spot today.
