A 22-year-old B.Tech student has been arrested for allegedly abducting, robbing, threatening and subjecting a man to unnatural intercourse in an inebriated State in south Delhi’s Aya Nagar last year.
The accused, identified as Ayush Kumar alias Shubham, a resident of Aya Nagar, had been absconding since May 2024 and was frequently changing his locations to evade arrest, police said.
According to the police, Kumar, who was pursuing a B.Tech degree at a private college in Kanjhawala in Delhi, had fled to Bihar after the incident and remained in hiding for more than a year before returning to the national Capital recently.
“On May 10, 2024, at 11.30 PM, the complainant and his friend went for a walk near Arjangarh Metro Station. There, a group of youths under the influence of alcohol, led by Shekhar Gujjar, called them over and started a conversation,” a senior police officer said.
During this, Shekhar snatched the complainant’s mobile phone after threatening him and then forcibly took both the complainant and his friend to a dilapidated building near Aya Nagar, where the complainant was beaten, threatened and forcibly subjected to unnatural sex by Gujjar and his three associates, the officer alleged.
A case was registered under sections 392 (robbery), 377 (unnatural offences), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
