Police continue to investigate a case involving the alleged rape of a 26-year-old Japanese female tourist by an Indian national at a homestay in Nadi in May.
The incident reportedly occurred at the end of April while the victim, a teacher, was on her second night in the country.
The victim claims that the suspect, from Guwahati, Assam, India, who was also staying at the property, raped her during the night.
According to the victim, she was awake in the dormitory when the same man who had earlier asked her to turn off the light approached her, claiming he wanted to sleep.
In the early morning hours, the tourist alleges she was attacked and raped by the man in the dark dormitory.
She had visible injury marks on her neck and leg, which she photographed as evidence.
The next morning, she informed a Fijian friend about the incident, who then reported it to the Namaka Police Station.
Police took her to the hospital for medical examinations, including tests for diseases and pregnancy, which came back negative.
The victim and her friend have reached out for public attention, stressing the need for justice as the suspect is still at large and may pose a threat to other women.
Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew confirmed that a report was made to the Police and that the case is currently under investigation.
