Woman visits Delhi's Vasant Kunj flat for job ‘interview’, gets raped

NEW DELHI: A 22-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a 25-year-old man who promised her a job and got her inside a flat for an "interview" in southwest Delhi's Vasant Kunj. Police have arrested the man and his associate-woman.

The 22-year-old told cops that on Sept 5, she came into contact with a woman on social media who asked her if she wanted a job. She gave the complainant the contact details of a person who she claimed worked at an airline and could help her. She took the complainant's phone number and gave it to that man.

"About half an hour later, the man called up the complainant and asked her what kind of job she was looking for — air hostess, PA, or peon. The complainant told him to find something suitable for her and was asked to come for an interview," a source said.

"She agreed to meet him with all her documents on Sept 9. The accused sent her the address on WhatsApp and picked her up from Delhi Aerocity metro station and took her to Vasant Kunj," the source added.

He took her to a room on the second floor of a building and said he would help her fill out the form. Once inside the room, he forcibly took her documents and allegedly sexually assaulted her.

The woman was threatened with dire consequences if she reported the incident and was dropped near the metro station. She informed her family members about the incident, and a case was registered against the man.

DCP (southwest) Rohit Meena said they had arrested the accused and based on his information, the woman who had sent the accused's contact details to the complainant was also arrested.
