New Delhi: A 51-year-old Danish woman was robbed and raped by a group of men near the New Delhi railway station, police said on Wednesday.
The Danish woman, who came to India on January 1, had gone to visit a museum on Tuesday evening but lost her way to her hotel in Paharganj, a tourist hub in the heart of Delhi.
Around 4 pm a group of men lured her to an isolated spot where she was robbed of her iPad and cash and then raped by six men, one of who had a knife, police said.
She was kept hostage for more than three hours, and somehow reached her hotel around 7 pm.
The manager of her hotel called the police around 9.30 pm.
Police said several suspects have been detained for questioning.
The Danish embassy has been informed and the woman is expected to leave for Denmark on Wednesday.
According to police, the woman — who had returned to Delhi on Monday after visiting Agra — has said she will return to India to depose if needed.
This is the second incident of its kind Delhi Police have reported within a fortnight.
