Imphal, December 30 2011:
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 lodged 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.
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 be 'used' for a night in exchange for some money but the proposal was flatly refused, the complaint report said.
It further said that Fakrauddin later threatened them and forcibly led the victim to another room of Tomba Hotel located at Governor Road on the pretext of providing her a safe and separate room and sexually assaulted her twice.
Suspicious of the conduct of Fakrauddin, Paolenmang searched for her sister-in-law during the night but was found only the next day morning in a secret room of the hotel, where she had been raped twice by the accused, the complaint added.
A case has been registered with the city police in connection with the incident.
