Contradictions and loose ends in the alleged incident of gang rape of a call centre employee in Pune, have baffled police working on an FIR lodged by the girl's friend.
The alleged gang rape victim, employed at IBM call centre at Phursungi, around 30 km from Pune, according to the FIR filed by one Hansraj, had received a call on the night of August 7 saying she was called back for some work.
A cab that picked her up took her to a hillock where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by around ten men, it said.
The girl, who is said to have suffered a mental shock, is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital and according to police, was not in a position to narrate the incident.
However, Ravindra Pardeshi, DSP, said that certain contradictions had surfaced during the police investigations based on the FIR filed by Hansraj, whom the girl supposedly told about the incident.
Police said that the girl's identity is still not disclosed. As per the version of the call centre officials, the girl had left workplace for the day in the afternoon after her duty hours and had not been summoned back in the night.
