A shocking video footage of a rape attempt on a woman receptionist allegedly by the hotel owner and few other staff in Kozhikode, Kerala on Saturday night has emerged.
The woman, aged around 30, reportedly jumped off from the first-floor of the hotel to escape the sexual assault and suffered multiple fractures.
The victim, a native of Payyanur, Kannur, was working at a private hotel in Mukkam.
Her family has released the video footage of the woman screaming and pleading. In the video, the woman is heard pleading, “Let me go,” while the hotel owner is allegedly heard saying, “Don’t be afraid, it’s just uncle, don’t make noise, my reputation will be ruined.”
The video footage was reportedly from the mobile phone of the victim who was playing video games when the incident took place.
On Saturday night around 11 pm, hotel owner Devadas, along with employees Riyas and Suresh, allegedly barged into the woman’s accommodation and attempted to assault her. In a desperate bid to escape, she jumped from the first floor, sustaining injuries. Hearing the commotion, neighbors rushed her to a hospital. She is currently undergoing treatment at Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.
Based on her statement, police have registered a case against the three accused under charges of trespassing and assaulting a woman. However, the suspects remain absconding, and no arrests have been made so far.
