Saudi diplomat case: Medical team confirms brutality

September 11, 2015 03:24 am | Updated November 17, 2021 03:37 am IST - GURGAON:

A day after the Saudi Arabian Embassy said the allegations against a diplomat and his family were “false,” a source in the Gurgaon Police told The Hindu on Thursday that a medical examination of the two complainants by a four-member medical board substantiated the charges.

“The report substantiates the >allegations of rap e and sodomy made by the two victims,” said a senior police officer, who chose to remain anonymous. The team of four doctors, one an orthopaedic surgeon, conducted a second examination on Wednesday on a request of the investigating officer.

A hospital source, who had access to the medical examination report, said the women were “ >sexually abused in every possible manner” and their injuries would take a long time to heal. Refusing to reveal the exact contents, the source said the women were “brutally” violated.

Gurgaon Police Commissioner Navdeep Virk said on Wednesday that another report had been sent to the External Affairs Ministry presenting all facts that “have come forth in the investigation so far, and keeping in view the provisions of the Vienna Convention 1961.”
