A ward boy of Osmania General Hospital (OGH) and Berla Nagaraju, a home-guard, who was on duty at the hospital has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman patient.
According to police, the 35-year-old victim said that when she went to Banjarahills police station to lodge a complaint against her husband’s ill-treatment towards her, the police sent her to Osmania General Hospital for treatment.
After completion of her treatment, when she was sitting inside the waiting hall on the ground floor and was talking to an unknown person, suddenly the accused walked into the hall and took the victim to the first floor and raped her.
Soon after, the woman lodged a police complaint. Nagaraju, the ward boy, was arrested after the woman identified him from photographs of staff members shown to her. She remembered that he was wearing an earring that night.
On interrogation, the accused admitted to having committed the offence. Both the accused have been arrested and are being produced before the court earlier in the day.
