Police said they received a complaint from the woman through email. The woman said she would come to Delhi to record her statement once an FIR was registered.

In her complaint, the woman said she had arrived in Delhi early in March 2016 on a tourist visa and was staying at the five-star hotel near Connaught Place.

The Times of India reported that she had hired the tourist guide from an agency suggested by the hotel authorities.

The guide showed her around the city. One day , while she was in her room, the guide offered to discuss a route plan and arrived at the hotel along with four other friends. They went up to her room and had a few drinks together, following which the guide forced himself on her.

The friends then took turns to rape her as well, the report added.
