Police said the alleged crime occurred in the Sukher area of Udaipur on December 20. The outing was planned as a celebration for the company CEO’s birthday.
Party at hotel before incident
According to the survivor’s statement, she attended a birthday and New Year party hosted by the CEO. The gathering began at a hotel in Shobhagpura around 9 pm and continued until nearly 1.30 am. She told police that heavy drinking took place during the party and that she became nearly unconscious.
She alleged that the hosts, including the CEO, the woman executive head, and the executive head’s husband, took advantage of her condition.
Alleged assault in car
The survivor told police that after other guests left, the trio offered to drop her home. She alleged that they forced her into the executive head’s car. Instead of taking her home, they stopped on the way and bought an item resembling a cigarette from a local shop.
She alleged that she was forced to consume the item, after which she lost consciousness.
Survivor regains consciousness hours later
In her complaint, the survivor stated that after regaining partial consciousness, she realised that the CEO molested her and the executive head’s husband raped her. She alleged that despite repeatedly asking to be taken home, the accused did not comply until around 5 am.
Dashcam footage cited in complaint
After the incident, the survivor checked the car’s dashcam footage, which she said recorded the entire crime. She told police that due to fear and trauma, she approached the police three days later and filed a complaint on December 23.
Police registered a gang-rape case and began an investigation led by Additional Superintendent of Police Madhuri Verma of the women’s crime unit. Udaipur Superintendent of Police Yogesh Goyal confirmed that three people, including one woman, have been detained in connection with the case.
A medical examination of the survivor has been conducted, and the report is awaited, police said.
The victim’s identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy, in line with Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault.
