A 30-year-old American woman was allegedly raped by an armed man in her rented penthouse at Banjara Hills, and also robbed of Rs. 5 lakh in cash, early on Wednesday.
The incident came to light when the woman lodged a complaint with the Banjara Hills police.
According to the complaint, an armed man barged into her rented penthouse on Road No. 11, Banjara Hills, and molested her, at around 3am. He then collected the cash and ran away from the place.
She has been living in the penthouse since October 2009, and was working with the Clinton Foundation, a US-based non-profit organisation, as a nutritionist, since the past one year.
The police admitted the woman to a corporate hospital for medical tests. Top police officials have visited the spot.
