A 22-year-old woman was allegedly raped by the medical assistant of a
private hospital in Hapur, Ghaziabad on Thursday night, police said.
Senior police officials have confirmed rape during victim's
medical-examination. The incident occurred at Modi Woman's Hospital at
Hapur, when the victim's
five-year-old daughter was undergoing treatment for pneumonia, police
officials said.

Police officials added that the victim's daughter was admitted in the
general ward of the hospital on February 1 and was later shifted to a
private room on the first floor.

"On Thursday night, her husband had gone out for dinner and the
victim, a Dalit, was alone with her daughter inside the private-room
of the hospital. When she went out to fetch water, she was dragged
inside a room by the medical assistant and raped," senior
superintendent of police Raghubir Lal said.

After the victim's complaint, police arrested the accused, identified
as Salim Mohammed. "The victim's medical examination confirmed rape
and the accused was arrested on Friday," Lal said.

Hospital administrator Dr RB Bhardwaj said that the accused was
terminated from his official duties after the incident came to light.

The accused was booked for rape and criminal intimidation charges
under the IPC and also under the provisions of the SC/ST Act, police
said.
