A relative’s friend raped a 77-year-old paralysed patient who was receiving care at a private hospital in the city. When a nurse entered the room while the accused was continuing in the act, the situation came to light. The suspect, identified as Gopal Nagar resident Deepak Vijay Thakre (39), was taken into custody by police.
The aforementioned woman was being cared for by her nephew, who made a call to his friend Deepak to give him a ride home and back. Deepak had also been employed by the lady’s nephew. Deepak noticed the woman laying on the bed after the nephew departed and sought to use her by physically putting himself on her.
In the meantime, a nurse entered the room and saw Deepak carrying out the horrific act. She screamed and alerted her colleagues who caught hold of Deepak. They informed the woman’s nephew who reached the hospital and informed the cops. Police reached the hospital and scanned the CCTV footage after which they took Deepak into custody.
