30-year-old tennis player gang-raped in India, 2 arrested

BENGALURU (Web Desk) – A 30-year-old Indian woman was allegedly gang-raped at a tennis club in Bengaluru on Wednesday night, NDTV reported.

Two security guards have been arrested.

The woman had come on Tuesday for a membership at the club located near the city’s well-known Cubbon Park. The police say she decided to stay the night near the club as she had come from Tumkur, over 70 km away.

The guards allegedly spotted the woman at the parking lot of the club and approached her, offering to help her gain membership. They allegedly took her to a deserted stretch and assaulted her.

“Last night at around 3 am, a rape complaint was received at Cubbon Park,” a senior police officer said.

This is the third such incident in the IT city in a month. Earlier this month, a 19-year-old nurse was allegedly raped inside a moving bus by its driver at Hoskote.

Last month, a 22-year-old call centre employee was gang-raped by two men.
