Woke up to him raping me - Mumbai woman 'roofied' by Instagram friend
The lady said she went out for a party with the accused, with whom she had previously engaged on Instagram. The woman claimed she initially went out for drinks with the accused and met a handful of his pals there. The two then went to another restaurant, where the lady alleged she was pushed to consume additional spirits by the accused. The woman stated she experienced a blackout due to alcohol drinking.
"I woke up to him raping me, and despite my efforts to stop him, he continued and even slapped me three times with intense rage, leaving me scared and intimidated," she said.
The woman said that the alleged assault occurred at the home of the accused's buddy. The victim said that the accused threatened her if she phoned for help.
"The location turned out to be his friend's, and his pals stepped in to defend him. "He tried to get me out before I could call for help, even threatening me in their presence," the message stated.
The woman stated that she contacted her cousin to take her up. She ultimately told her parents about the incident and filed an FIR later that week.
She stated the accused later apologized for the incident, claiming the "situation got heated up and escalated".
"Hi, I sincerely apologize for whatever occurred tonight; I did not want to do what happened, but the situation became hot and escalated, and I am very sorry. I hope we can move on from this and put it behind us; I'm once again sorry," the man said to the woman.
According to reports, the offender has been charged under IPC sections 376 (rape) and 323 (voluntarily inflicting pain).
The mumbai Police responded to the woman's instagram post by saying, "We are grateful you duly reported it, and we assure you that the investigation will be conducted properly to ensure justice."
