A Japanese woman has told Indian police she was raped by a tourist guide in the historic northern city of Jaipur, in the latest sex attack on a foreigner, an officer said earlier yesterday.
The 20-year-old told police the guide offered to show her around Jaipur on his motorbike yesterday, before attacking her in an isolated part of the city in the evening, the officer said.
“We have received a complaint from a Japanese tourist alleging rape by a local man yesterday (Sunday),” Dharam Chand Jain, police inspector general for Jaipur district, told the media.
“The accused offered to drop her at the hotel in the evening but took her to a desolate area… and allegedly raped her,” he said.
“The tourist alleged that she was offered some food which might have been laced with drugs.”
The case is the latest in a string of high-profile sex attacks that have highlighted high levels of violence against women in the world’s second-most-populous country.
