Gandhi Hospital rape case timeline and case history

The complainant was taken to the hospital for a medical examination, while a team of police officers is on the lookout for the patient's wife, who has gone missing. The woman said in her police report on Monday that her brother-in-law had been admitted to the hospital just a few days before. Three persons had come to Gandhi Hospital as attendants: the patient's wife, another person, and the complainant. However, on August 13, four days before his discharge, the patient's wife and the complainant went missing. As a result, the patient summoned his son, who drove him to the Mahabubnagar district. The patient's son returned to Gandhi Hospital on Sunday in search of his mother and maternal aunt, who had gone missing. He tracked down his aunt in a hospital, where she claimed she had been raped. V Sunitha Laxma Reddy, chairman of the Telangana Women Commission, paid a visit to Gandhi Hospital and spoke with hospital superintendent Dr Raja Rao regarding the situation and security precautions. Home Minister Mahamood and Excise Minister Srinivas Goud have instructed the police to pursue the offenders aggressively.
