TV Actor Ashish Kapoor Arrested in Pune in Delhi Rape Case

He is in four-day police custody pending a review of CCTV and witness accounts.

Overview

  • Delhi Police said Kapoor was held on September 3 in Pune after teams tracked his movements from Delhi to Goa and then to Pune.
  • An FIR was registered on August 11 at Civil Lines after a 24-year-old woman alleged she was assaulted inside a washroom during a house party in early August.
  • A court remanded Kapoor to four days of police custody as the investigation proceeds.
  • The complainant first named multiple people, including the party host and his wife, before revising her statement to accuse only Kapoor; the host and his wife received anticipatory bail on August 21.
