Guwahati: An Assam native was arrested by Kerala police on Saturday for allegedly raping a 52-year-old woman and grievously injuring here in Kerela four days ago.
The arrested person has been identified as Firdous.
“On December 13, the accused Firdous allegedly lured the woman, a native of Alappuzha district who works as a daily wage labourer at a railway station here, saying he would show her the way to the nearest metro station,” a police source said.
“When they reached an isolated area near a railway overbridge, Firdous allegedly pushed the woman into the bushes and brutally raped her before fleeing the spot,” the official added.
The locals later found the rape survivor in an injured state and rushed her to hospital.
