"We have detained a group of men and we are questioning them over the incident," special commissioner of police Deepak Mishra said.

"The woman reported the attack to police and we are investigating. She has declined to undergo a medical examination (to confirm the rape)."

"They also took her mobile phone and other items and money in euros."

The alleged attack just minutes from Connaught Place in the heart of the capital is the latest involving a foreigner in India, and again raises questions about the safety of women in the country.

Mishra declined to say exactly how many men had been detained over the incident on State Entry Road opposite the New Delhi Railway Station, but local media put the number at 15.

"The victim was obviously traumatised but was still clearly able to recall the entire crime sequence," another investigating officer said on the condition of anonymity.

"It helped speed up the process of narrowing down the possible suspects from the area," he added.

Kuldeep Singh, a receptionist at the victim's hotel, said the woman had appeared calm when she returned at about 8:30pm but then confided in a fellow traveller.

"She first came to me at the reception desk and told me that she needed 200 rupees to give to the auto driver as she had been robbed," Singh said.

The Danish victim gave a detailed statement overnight in the presence of the Danish ambassador, police said.

"We have identified around four to six people who are the prime suspects in the case," the investigating policeman said, adding that they appeared to be "vagabonds".

"She told us that the attackers were mostly youngsters," he added.
The crime scene was inside the grounds of the Railway Officers Club on State Entry Road with the victim saying she was dragged to a secluded area shrouded by trees near a statue.

The police took her statements in the presence of the Danish ambassador.

Danish ambassador Freddy Svane said the embassy was providing assistance to the woman, but declined to give further details.
