A 22-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a 25-year-old man who promised her a job and lured her to his flat in Vasant Kunj, southwest Delhi. The man and his associate, a woman, have been arrested by the police.
The incident began on September 5 when the woman was contacted via social media by another woman offering job opportunities. She was given the contact details of a man who supposedly worked at an airline. After receiving her phone number, the man called her, inquiring about the type of job she wanted, whether as an air hostess, PA, or peon. He then invited her for an interview.
On September 9, the woman agreed to meet him, bringing her documents along. The man sent her the address via WhatsApp and picked her up from Delhi Aerocity metro station, taking her to Vasant Kunj. He brought her to a room on the second floor, ostensibly to assist with filling out a form. Inside the room, he took her documents forcibly and allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Threatened with severe consequences if she reported the assault, the woman was dropped off near the metro station. She later confided in her family, leading to the registration of a case against the man.
DCP (southwest) Rohit Meena confirmed the arrest of both the man and the woman who had initially contacted the victim. The identity of the victim has been kept confidential according to Supreme Court directives on sexual assault cases.
