New Delhi, Jan 15, 2013: In another incident that shamed the national capital, a 51-year-old Danish woman was allegedly gang-raped by a group of men near New Delhi Railway Station late on Tuesday.

Reports on Wednesday said that a Danish national, who was here on a tourist visa, had gone to visit a museum and while returning back to her hotel in Paharganj lost her way in the area when a group of men stopped her, robbed and gang-raped her.

The woman after returning to her hotel narrated her ordeal to her near ones, who further informed the police.

The Danish Embassy has also pitched in and asked the authorities for swift action in this case.

Delhi Police have detained several people in connection with the case and had been interrogating them. The officials suspect that the people, who are drug addicts and stay at roadside in the Paharganj area, might be involved in the crime.

The victim left for her country Wednesday morning.
