Bhopal: A 19-year-old woman who was tied up and gang-raped last week in Bhopal "had consensual sex with two of the accused" says a medical report now binned as a "mistake by a junior doctor".
"The report was prepared by a junior doctor and they rectified the error immediately," said Karan Peepre, the Superintendent of the government-run Sultania hospital.
The teen, studying for the Indian Police Service (IPS), was assaulted on October 31 near the Habibganj Railway Station, in the busiest part of the Madhya Pradesh capital, by four men who kept taking tea and gutka (tobacco) breaks. She was grabbed as she headed to the station to take a train home after coaching classes. Ten police officers were suspended and three transferred for an 11-hour delay in her complaint being filed; one officer had dismissed her account as a "filmy story".
