In India, a woman battling between life and death on a ventilator was allegedly subjected to a horrific act of sexual assault.
According to Indian media reports, an air hostess undergoing treatment at a private hospital revealed, after being discharged, that she was subjected to inappropriate acts while in the ICU on a ventilator.
Police stated that the air hostess claimed she was sexually assaulted on April 6 while on a ventilator in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Gurugram.
The victim informed her husband about the incident after being discharged from the hospital on April 13, following which he filed a complaint with the police.
An FIR has been registered on the 46-year-old woman’s complaint, but no arrests have been made so far. The hospital administration has not commented on the matter.
