"During the online chat, Amit told me that he was a Delhi resident and used to commute to and from Gurugram. After this, he promised me a job at a reputed company in Manesar," she told the police.
"On Sunday, Amit called me and told me he had arranged a 'good job' for me. He asked me to reach Manesar immediately," the girl said.
"Trusting Amit, I went to Manesar where he took me to a hotel there and offered some soft drink laced with sedatives. After consuming the drink, I lost my senses and then he raped me," the victim told the police.
