A security guard has been arrested in Ahmedabad for allegedly raping a 22-year-old student on the terrace of a residential society late Saturday. The accused, identified as Dharam Singh, originally from Hardoi district in Uttar Pradesh, had joined the job only four days ago, police said.
According to the Anandnagar police, Singh approached the woman with sexual intentions and assaulted her when she refused. He allegedly choked her before the assault, then locked her on the terrace and fled with her phone.
Residents of the society rescued the woman after the guard left, and the police were alerted. Singh was arrested early Sunday morning. Investigators are looking into the incident and the guard's background.
