Once they reached the woman’s home, the man allegedly overpowered and raped her.

“The victim noticed that the suspect was fast asleep and snoring on Friday at about 02:00. She escaped through the door and alerted the local community about the alleged rape,” Manatha said.

“Members of the community came and tied him [up]. Police were informed, they rushed to the scene of the crime where they found the suspect.”

The man had not been assaulted, he confirmed.
