The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India finds out the circumstances of a gangster attack on an employee of the Swiss embassy in New Delhi . India authorities ordered the most thorough investigation and severely punish the guilty.
This incident occurred on Tuesday evening, when a 35-year-old employee of the consular department of the Embassy of Switzerland returned from the concert hall Siri Fort in South Delhi, where a prestigious international film festival is now being held.
The attack was committed in a car parking lot. Two bandits pushed her into their own car, robbed and raped.

After the last movie show ended, an unnamed female director was about to go home. She was attacked when she was already sitting in the car.
“Two hands stuck into the car and grabbed my neck,” the victim says.
She managed to escape, but the attacker managed to inflict a serious head injury to her. BBC reports that the city authorities are "extremely concerned and excited about the current situation." 5 police officers who were supposed to guard the participants of the film festival have already been removed from work.

The most dangerous city in India
Delhi is considered one of the most dangerous cities in India. A particularly common crime here is rape.
A few days ago, a university student was raped by bodyguards of the President of India.
At the end of September, right in the building of the central hospital, Delhi was brutally raped by a nurse. The attackers beat her and squeezed her eyes.
The public of the city has repeatedly demanded that the government introduce the death penalty for rape.
