Indian TV actor Ashish Kapoor has been arrested on charges of rape after a woman alleged that he sexually assaulted her inside a washroom during a house party in Delhi in the second week of August, said police.
DCP (North) Raja Banthia confirmed that Kapoor was arrested in Pune on Wednesday.
After registering the case, police said they tracked the accused’s movements — first to Goa, then to Pune. Teams were dispatched to both locations, and he was eventually arrested.
Police said the victim initially alleged that Kapoor, his friend who hosted the house party, and two unknown men had sexually assaulted her. She also claimed a woman had physically assaulted her.
Police said she later claimed it was only Kapoor who raped her. Police said they are following legal procedures, and charges of gangrape will be converted to those of rape in due course.
