An Indian woman has reportedly been rap€d hours after giving birth, while in an intensive care unit in a hospital near New Delhi.

The 23-year-old had suffered a traumatic birth, having been forced to eventually have her child delivered by caesarean section, and was recovering overnight when she claims she was attacked.

The alleged ra.pist was caught on CCTV as he entered the private hospital in Bahaduragarh, a city located on the outskirts of New Delhi, India.

According to the victim, the man seen on the CCTV rap€d her in her hospital bed, and despite her screams no staff came to her aid.

The security camera footage was filmed at around 3.30am, with the man reportedly gaining entry after telling a guard he was a doctor.

He is then seen walking around in the hospital, checking in on several patients, but no staff appear to question his presence or purpose in the ICU.
