Ashish Kapoor Remanded to 14-Day Judicial Custody in Delhi Rape Case

Police await the AIIMS potency report, with searches continuing for the complainant’s missing phone.

Overview

  • Delhi Police arrested the TV actor on September 2 in Pune after tracking his movements from Goa during a three‑week manhunt.
  • AIIMS conducted a court‑approved potency test on September 5, and officers say the report will be used as key evidence.
  • The complainant’s initial gang‑rape allegation was later narrowed to accuse only Kapoor, and officers say the FIR will be reframed to rape.
  • Investigators have not recovered the complainant’s mobile phone or any alleged video, after searches at the party site, Kapoor’s residence and a family restaurant.
  • Kapoor’s defence told the court the phone was with co‑accused Kapil and Ritu Gupta, who earlier obtained anticipatory bail, while police review CCTV and witness accounts.
