Despite security provided by two separate agencies at Sion hospital, a 37-year-old woman, who is HIV positive, was allegedly raped in the middle of the day on the hospital's terrace on Friday. The accused had somehow managed to slip past the security personnel — guards of the Maharashtra Security Force and BMC security — and approached the woman posing as a ward boy from the hospital.
As soon as the woman filed a complaint at Sion police station, the cops arrested the 31-year-old within 24 hours. Surprisingly, when mid-day got in touch with the dean Dr Jayashree Mondkar for her comment on Monday, she was clueless about the horrific incident on her hospital premises three days ago. "I am not aware of such an incident, and will look into it," she said.
