Gurgaon: The wife and daughter of the Saudi diplomat abused the Gurgaon Police officials when they went to rescue the two Nepalese women, who alleged rape by the diplomat, police said in a report to Ministry of External Affairs.

According to the report, while the investigation team was waiting outside the apartment's front door, the two women allegedly started beating up the Nepalese women to stop them from leaving the house.

However, the team managed to rescue the victims "after a great deal of persuasion."

The detailed report was sent to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on September 9.

Around 40 police personnel, including policewomen, had gone to the diplomat's fifth-floor flat at Ambience Island around 2.30 pm on September 7. But his family members refused to open the door. When they finally did, they tried to physically prevent the police from entering, the eyewitnesses had told NDTV.

The Nepalese women have alleged that the diplomat and some of his friends used to sexually assault them, while his wife often threatened them by putting a knife on their throat. One of them was allegedly stabbed once in her arm.

Gurgaon police, in the report, said that they were unaware about the identities of the occupants of the apartment when they went rescue the two Nepalese women.

"We later realised that the residents could be Saudi Arabian nationals who may be holding diplomatic status in India. Their names could not be confirmed on spot but the male member is believed to be Mr Majid, who is believed to be the First Secretary with the Saudi Arabian Embassy in New Delhi," reads the report.

It also mentions that Gurgaon Police had received a letter and a phone call from the Nepal embassy to "rescue and repatriate" the Nepalese women.
