Police identified the accused through hospital CCTV footage and staff questioning. Over 800 cameras were reviewed and 50 staff members interrogated. Eight teams participated in the probe.
According to the victim, the incident took place on April 6. She was in a semi-conscious state when a man digitally raped her in the ICU while two nurses were present but did nothing. She had been admitted on April 5 after falling ill from a swim at her hotel.
