Ahmedabad PG Security Guard Allegedly Ties Wire Around Student’s Neck, Rapes Her On Terrace

A female student, an interior design major, was reportedly raped by a security guard at a paying guest (PG) accommodation in Ahmedabad's Anandnagar area on August 8th. The incident occurred at around 10 pm when she decided to take a walk on the building's terrace, where the guard was also present. Upon attempting to leave the terrace to escape the guard, she claims the assailant tied a wire around her neck and proceeded to sexually assault her.

The injured woman was taken to the hospital for treatment. The local police swiftly identified the suspect, Dharm Singh, a PG accommodation security guard, and arrested him on Sunday morning following an intense search effort involving multiple police teams. CCTV footage of Singh moving between the building's floors and terrace via the lift is currently being analyzed as part of the investigation.

Singh, who is originally from Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district, began working as the PG's security guard just a few days before the alleged incident took place. The police are still gathering evidence and investigating the case.
