CCTV shows her alleged attacker getting out of a car and walking in to the ICU at Brahm Shakti Sanjivani Hospital.

The security camera footage was filmed at around 3.30am, with the man reportedly gaining entry after telling a guard he was a doctor.

He is then seen walking around in the hospital, checking in on several patients, but no staff appear to question his presence or purpose in the ICU.

According to the victim, the man seen on the CCTV raped her in her hospital bed, and despite her screams no one came to her aid.

A relative of the woman who was allegedly assaulted says no one responded to her screams.

'She is my nephew's wife and she gave birth to a girl yesterday and was admitted to the hospital,' a relative of the alleged victim told NDTV.

'I was with her till late 9:45 pm and then left because the hospital staff said no one was allowed to stay the night in the ICU. There was nobody in the ICU when the man entered.

'All the patients were sleeping. My daughter-in-law screamed but nobody came, neither any nurse nor any doctor.'
