In a shocking incident, a 65-year old woman, who was employed as a home nurse to take care of a male senior citizen, was allegedly raped by a history sheeter
Seby Ferrao at Raia late Friday night.
The incident came to light on Saturday morning after the woman narrated her trauma to her employer, who in turn intimated the Maina-Curtorim police.
The incident is believed to have occurred at around 10 pm on Friday when the victim lady was about to retire to bed in the house of her employer when the accused pounced on her and raped her after pushing her in the pantry of the house.
Sources said the victim woman was employed as a home nurse for the employer as the latter had recently undergone an operation. Police said the accused also used to come to the place to meet his girlfriend, who used to stay in the staff quarters provided by the employer.
On Friday night, after serving dinner to her employer, the victim changed her clothes in her room to retire to bed.
