The incident triggered protests outside the police station with student groups from the northeast and Jawahar Lal Nehru University blocking the road and clashing with the police following which traffic was diverted in the area.
Demonstrators, who raised anti-police slogans, claimed that they were not allowed to meet senior police officials and denied copy of the FIR. They also claimed that there must be another accomplice of the accused in the case.
“She was taken to that room at around 10:30 after which somebody latched it from outside. Her relatives went looking for her and even contacted the police. The accused raped her till 1 AM after which he fled from the spot. She was found in a very bad shape at around 4 AM.
“We suspect that there was somebody who helped the accused by shutting the door and then came back to open it. We want the police to arrest that accomplice as well,” said a local who is close the victim's family. The victim hails from Manipur and was living in Delhi since the last six months with her relatives.
The incident comes close to the heels of the death of Nido Tania, a youth from Arunachal Pradesh who was purportedly beaten to death here a few days ago by some shopkeepers following a quarrel over taunts on his hairstyle.'
