US Woman Raped In Rishikesh

Rishikesh: A local resident allegedly raped a 37-year-old US woman in Rishikesh, the police said on Thursday.

NDTV quoted the woman as saying in her complaint that a man had befriended her pretending to share her passion for yoga. He sneaked into her room through her balcony and raped her on October 5, said local police officer RK Saklani.

The cop told NDTV that the man had allegedly called her to his home several times before the incident. The woman’s love for yoga and drugs brought her close to the accused, he said.
