Six men allegedly barged into a hotel room in Karnataka on January 8 and assaulted an interfaith couple.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has asked the Karnataka director general of police to lodge an FIR invoking the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against six men who allegedly barged into a hotel room and assaulted an interfaith couple in Haveri.
NCW Chairperson Rekha Sharma told reporters here that if a response is not received within three days, the women's body would send a team to the southern state. Sharma also said the woman was raped by the six men.
The incident happened on January 8. The 26-year-old married woman, who belongs to a minority community, had checked into the hotel at around 1 pm with a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) driver aged 40 years, with whom she has been in a relationship for the last three years, police said.
