A call centre employee was raped at knife-point inside a mini bus in Bengaluru
For hours on Saturday night, a young call centre worker in Bengaluru was raped inside a moving mini-bus at knife-point, allegedly by the driver and another man.
Two men have been arrested in the case that shamed the IT city on a day it had two important visitors - Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The 23-year-old woman, who is from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, left office on Saturday night and was waiting for an autorickshaw at around 10 pm when the private mini-bus with only a driver and a cleaner stopped and offered to take her to the city's south-east, where she stayed with her sister.
The woman reportedly got into the bus even though a friend who was with her advised her against it.
The police say for over three hours, the two men drove around deserted places of the Madivala area and raped the woman. At one point, they even stopped the vehicle and raped her.
The men allegedly dumped the woman near a temple. The woman called her sister and friends, who came to the spot and took her to the St. John's Hospital nearby. She left the hospital on Monday.
The woman had started working recently at the call centre.
