Ahmedabad Security Guard Arrested for Alleged Rape of Woman on Housing Society Terrace
A 23-year-old interior design student in Ahmedabad was allegedly raped by Dharam Singh, a security guard, on the terrace of her housing society on August 8. The accused reportedly strangled her with a wire, causing unconsciousness before the assault. Singh, who had joined the job just four days prior, fled but was arrested the next morning after police reviewed CCTV footage and conducted a large-scale search. During a recovery operation, Singh was shot in the leg while attempting to escape custody. Investigations and forensic examinations are ongoing, and authorities are scrutinizing the security agency's hiring practices.
