Woman alleges rape by tenants, says they filmed the incident

Kolkata: A woman was allegedly raped by two of her tenants in north Kolkata last month, police said on Saturday, adding she complained that her attackers had also filmed the entire incident which deterred her from reporting the case to the police earlier.

"A woman today filed a complaint with us that she was allegedly raped by Sushovan Kundu and his brother Sudip Kundu who were her tenants in Shyampukur area. We have initiated investigation but no arrest has been so far," said Shyampukur police station chief Shubendu Barik.

The incident happened a month ago but she could not report the matter as the alleged offenders had videographed the entire incident and threatened to make it public if she approached the police, said the officer.

One of the attackers again attempted to rape her on Saturday. After she raised an alarm, he fled as other residents gathered.

Later, the woman informed her husband who then lodged a police complaint.

The alleged offenders are residents of Burdwan district.
