A young Indian teacher working on the island of Dhangethi in Alif Dhaal Atoll has been hospitalised after a group of people broke into her home on Sunday night and allegedly raped her.
The 25 year-old woman is in a “very serious condition” following the attack, said the Island Council President Azim Adam.
“They broke in [to her house] around 2:15am. I came to know about it at 4:00am and I instantly reported it to the police. The girl is now in the atoll hospital in a very serious condition,” Adam said.
A source close to the victim said she was in the hospital’s intensive care unit but was “bleeding uncontrollably.”
