A 42-year-old married woman was allegedly gang-raped by three persons in North-West Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh. One of the accused was arrested while two others are still absconding. Police said that the accused has been identified as Naval Kishore (52), a property dealer.
“The arrest was made following on the complaint made by a resident of Shalimar Bagh. She told the police that one of the accused was his neighbour and few days back, she had asked Naval, to search a job for her,” a senior police officer said.
The accused Naval called the victim to meet him in his residence on the pretext of meeting with some persons regarding her job. “They offered her a cold drink laced with some sedatives and raped her. They also threatened her of dire consequences if she informed the police and her husband about the matter,” the officer added.
