In a shocking incident, a 21-year-old woman admitted to a private hospital due to breathing problems was allegedly raped by a man when she was unconscious during the treatment.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, the 21-year-old tuberculosis patient admitted in Fortis Hospital in Gurugram’s Sector 44 was allegedly raped by a man while she was in a semi-conscious condition on ventilator in the ICU of the hospital.

The victim's father reported the matter to the police on October 27 when she regained her consciousness and revealed her ordeal to her father. She reportedly handed a three-page letter to her father and accused a man identified as Vikas. According to the police the victim is a resident of Mahendragarh district and suffering from tuberculosis. Due to breathing problems, she was placed on a ventilator.
