A British woman was raped by an unidentified man at a paying guest accommodation in Parel in central Mumbai, police said on Wednesday.

In a complaint lodged with Bhoiwada police, the victim said that she was sedated and subsequently sexually assaulted on Monday night.

The woman, who works in Australia, had arrived in Mumbai on a tourist visa for treatment at Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, police said.

Since the woman did not know anybody in the town, she was staying as a paying guest in a house where the incident occurred, police said.
