Gurgaon: A day after a rape case was registered against a staff member of Fortis Hospital in Gurugram’s Sector 44 for allegedly raping a 21-year-old woman undergoing tuberculosis treatment, the police are yet to make any arrests.

The police, on Thursday, said that two of the hospital staff members are under the scanner.

A case was registered on the basis of a complaint by the woman’s father, who alleged that his daughter was raped while she was in a semi-conscious state on ventilator in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital.

KK Rao, commissioner of police, said that they have collected CCTV footage of two floors, of which footage of one floor was monitored by the police team on Thursday.

However, they could not find anything substantial that could support the complaint.

“We have questioned more than 20 staff members who were present in the ward during the period when the alleged rape happened and have taken the location details of the suspect to check whether he spent time alone in the ICU.

We hope to solve the case at the earliest,” he said.

The police said the family is suspecting that the incident took place between October 21 (when she was admitted) and October 27 (when she fully regained consciousness).
