Television actor Ashish Kapoor was arrested by Delhi Police on Wednesday, September 3, on charges of rape, following allegations by a woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her inside a washroom during a house party in the capital in the second week of August. Police said that Kapoor had come in contact with the woman through Instagram before inviting her to the gathering at a friend’s residence.
According to the FIR, Kapoor, his friend, the friend’s wife, and two unidentified individuals were initially named. However, the woman later revised her statement, alleging that only Kapoor had raped her.
She further claimed that the act was recorded on video, though investigators have not yet recovered any such footage. Additionally, the complainant alleged that after the assault, Kapoor’s friend’s wife attacked her outside the washroom.
