Detectives from the Metropolitan Police are urgently hunting two men after a British-born Sikh woman was subjected to a horrific rape and racially aggravated assault in West London.
The victim, in her 30s, was attacked in the early hours of the morning. During the brutal assault, her attackers allegedly told her, "you don't belong in this country"—a chilling declaration that has led police to treat the incident as a racially motivated hate crime.
The traumatising attack has sent shockwaves through the local community and prompted a major investigation. Police have released a description of the two suspects and are appealing to the public for any information that could lead to their arrest.
Appeal for Witnesses
Investigators are combing through local CCTV footage and conducting house-to-house enquiries. They are particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who may have witnessed anything suspicious.
A dedicated team of officers is providing support to the victim as she begins her recovery from the deeply traumatic ordeal.
Community Response and Condemnation
Local community leaders and organisations have united in their condemnation of the attack, describing it as a sickening act of violence and racism. They are urging anyone with information to come forward to help bring the perpetrators to justice.
The case has highlighted ongoing concerns about violence against women and hate crimes in the capital, with calls for increased action to tackle both issues.
