The Story in Brief
A security guard allegedly raped a 22-year-old student on the terrace of a building in Jodhpur late Saturday. The accused, Dharm Singh (27), a native of Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh, used a wire to restrain the woman by the neck before assaulting her, Anandnagar police said.
After the attack, Singh locked the victim on the terrace and fled. She raised an alarm and was rescued by residents. Police arrested the accused from Hebatpur early Sunday. The incident has sparked outrage over safety in residential societies.
The Indian Opinion
The Jodhpur rape is a chilling reminder of how easily a trusted worker can become a predator. Some will use this to paint all security guards or migrant workers as dangers, but the fault lies with specific criminal conduct and lax hiring checks. The real test is whether the police investigation leads to swift justice and whether society insists on thorough background verification without stigmatising an entire community.
