Two Nigerian brothers were
arrested in India on Monday for allegedly attempting to rape a Nigerian woman
in the country.
The suspects have been
identified as Chinonso and his brother Emma. Both are in their twenties.
The woman alleged that the
suspects barged into her house around 3am on Monday and tried to rape her. They
fled when she raised the alarm.
Ajay Kumar, SHO, Kasna
police station said;
“The woman reached the
police station on Monday morning. She explained that she was alone in the house
and her husband was elsewhere when the accused barged into the house and
attempted to rape her. She said she knew the two accused, as they stayed in the
same locality,”
“Based on the complaint of
the Nigerian woman, we have registered a case against the two accused under
sections 454 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking in order to commit
offence), 376 (rape), 511 (punishment for attempting to commit offences) and 427
(mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) of the IPC,”
The two men pursued BA from
a private college in Greater Noida and were staying on student visas, said the
police. The accused were arrested from their rented house in Kasna and sent to
jail after being produced in court on Monday.
A representative from the
Nigerian Embassy, Charles, told TOI that he will request the magistrate to
deport the accused back to their country.
