NEW DELHI: The accused in the rape of a Finnish woman, Elvis Menttanna, "used to frequent pubs and night clubs and become friendly with foreigners easily", police have said.
The 25-year-old from Mumbai was produced before the duty magistrate at the Saket court on Sunday and sent to Tihar Jail for 14 days' judicial custody. "I am innocent. I have not done anything wrong," he said while being taken to court.
Menttanna allegedly took the 30-year-old woman to his guesthouse room after meeting her in a discotheque in New Delhi and raped her. He has been booked under Sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC at Hauz Khas police station. Investigations have, however, confirmed that the victim was not drugged by him on Saturday. She is undergoing counselling with the police.
The youth was reportedly in Delhi for two-and-a-half months as he had got freelance assignments as translator and would usually leave to relax in the evening, said deputy commissioner of police (south) Chhaya Sharma on Sunday.
The accused told the police he was from Goa but one of the documents found on him also mentioned Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The police have spoken to his relatives in Mumbai and are also verifying about him from the Andamans and Goa. "We have not found any previous record of his at least in Delhi but we are checking with Mumbai and other places," Sharma told TOI. The victim had said she left her guesthouse in south Delhi with two friends, both expats, and had dinner at a Greater Kailash-I restaurant and then went to the discotheque. She alleged that Menttanna soon struck a friendship with her and offered to drop her home but took her to his guesthouse. When the victim refused to stay there, he allegedly raped her.
