Television actor Ashish Kapoor was arrested on Wednesday, September 3, in Pune on rape charges after a woman alleged he sexually assaulted her in a Delhi party washroom last month. The two had met on Instagram. Police traced Kapoor from Delhi to Goa and finally Pune.
The woman claimed the incident was recorded, but no video has been found. CCTV footage and eyewitnesses show Kapoor and the victim entering the washroom, with others knocking when they stayed inside. An argument later reached the society gate, where the victim said Kapoor’s friend’s wife hit her. Police said the wife made the PCR call.
