In feedback form, US woman didn't talk of rape: Accused guide

The tour guide, who is accused of raping a US national in a five-star hotel in Connaught Place earlier this year, has told police the victim gave "positive feedback" in the tour company form and mentioned nothing about the sexual assault.
However, before she approached an NGO with her complaint, she had brought the matter to the notice of the tour company that had arranged her visit to India and an internal inquiry had found nothing amiss, the tour guide told police during interrogation.
Yesterday, the guide joined investigation after returning from Nepal and denied his involvement in the incident.

"He has given his defence. He told police that she had given a positive feedback in the form given by tour company. Even after the alleged incident, she accompanied rest of the tourists to Agra, Jaipur and didn't mention anything to fellow tourists, he told police during interrogation," said a senior police officer.
She had complained about the incident to the travel agency but their internal inquiry didn't find anything amiss.
Police will contact the company and take the feedback forms and the inquiry report, said the officer.

Police have questioned 11 suspects till now. "The men are in their late thirties. The main accused is the tour guide. We have established the presence of all the suspects in hotel. But there is confusion, as to who among the attendants are the accused since her description is a bit unclear on this. The suspects have been asked not to leave the city," said the officer.

There are also some missing links in her statement and the version given by accused.
"She has agreed to come to India this month. If she returns to record her statement in a court in front of a magistrate, that will help the case and lead to arrests," said the officer.
