Ajay Kumar told The Indian Express that they are investigating her allegations. “She has suffered injuries in her private parts. We will get a medical examination done to confirm her allegation of rape after she is discharged from hospital,” Kumar said. He added that all those named by the woman were relatives of the owner’s wife. “We have detained her father, uncle and elder brother. Her younger brother is absconding,” said Kumar.

“We have talked to the hospital staff, who told us that they had not seen anyone entering into the hospital around the time of the alleged incident. The woman naming several family members of the hospital owner’s wife as suspects made the police suspicious. A probe is on,” said Kumar.
