The Chinese Embassy has made official contacts with the Indian police and Indian Ministry of External Affairs after the news broke out in local media that a young Chinese woman was raped by an Indian man in the Indian capital earlier this week, said embassy sources.

The Chinese embassy expressed shock and strong anger over the incident, saying that the security of Chinese citizens can never be violated.

The embassy urged the Indian government to seriously deal with this incident, protect the security, legal rights and privacy of the victim of the rape, as well to arrest and harshly punish the rapist to render justice to the victim.

It also urged the Indian authorities to take all efficient measures to protect Chinese citizens in India and prevent similar incidents to happen again.

The Indian side said it was seriously looking into this incident and would take all efficient measures to protect security, legal rights and privacy of the victim of the rape.

Indian police also said they have arrested the suspect and were collecting evidence before sending him to court.
