Rajasthan Police Friday filed a charge sheet against the main accused and eight others in a court in Dudu over the rape of a Japanese woman tourist.

The 20-year-old Japanese woman tourist had Feb 9 filed a police complaint in Dudu, over 60 km from here, accusing a man of raping her.

The incident had occurred on the night of Feb 8. The tourist was on a sightseeing tour in Jaipur when a person on a motorbike approached her and offered his services as a guide. The man took her to certain areas and later to a secluded place where, according to her, he raped her, police said.

She later reached a police station in Dudu and filed a complaint.
