Kerala: Health inspector allegedly rapes nurse who needed Covid papers, arrested

A Kerala health inspector has been arrested on charges of raping a 44-year-old nurse who had approached him for a coronavirus-negative certificate, police said.
The woman had been ordered to go into quarantine last month after she returned home to the state capital from north Kerala where she was working as a home nurse.
She had tested negative after the two-week quarantine but she needed the negative certificate to return to work as a nurse.
This is the second incident of rape involving a state employee working in the health sector.
On Saturday last, a 22-year-old woman complained that the driver of a state-run ambulance service tasked to take her to hospital raped her on the way.
