Tis Hazari Court Grants Bail to TV Actor Ashish Kapoor in Alleged Delhi Rape Case

The judge said case materials showed he was not needed for further investigation.

Overview

  • On September 10, Additional Sessions Judge Bhupinder Singh granted Kapoor bail on a Rs 1 lakh bond with a Rs 1 lakh surety.
  • Bail conditions include keeping an active mobile phone with location services switched on, according to court-listed terms reported by News18.
  • The court referred to CCTV and material on record, noted his Delhi residence and clean antecedents, and recorded investigative lapses such as no recovery of the complainant’s phone and inadequate searches.
  • Police had earlier arrested Kapoor in Pune, conducted a potency test on September 5, and secured a 14‑day judicial custody order on September 6 before bail was granted.
  • The FIR alleges the complainant was drugged and assaulted at a house party in August, police say her statements later focused on Kapoor alone, and the defense calls the allegations false and an extortion attempt while the investigation continues.
