NEW DELHI: There seems to be no end to Delhi’s bad tag of a city unsafe to women, even in crowded areas. One more case of gang-rape in the capital came to light on Wednesday.

A 51-year-old tourist from Denmark was allegedly gang raped by more than half-a-dozen men at knife point near the New Delhi Railway Station on Tuesday night.

Police said a case has been registered at the Paharganj Police Station and several suspects are being questioned. However, cops refused to divulge any more details as the investigation is going on.

The survivor was returning to her hotel in Paharganj from Connaught Place, and lost her way. When she approached a group of men for directions, they allegedly took her to a secluded place and took turns to rape her on knife point before stealing her valuables.

When she narrated the incident to the hotel manager, he called the police. The Danish Embassy was also informed. The woman has been taken to the Embassy after recording her statement with the police.

According to sources, the victim has refused to undergo a medical examination and has expressed her desire to return home.
