Three Men Arrested for Alleged Gang-Rape of Teen in Delhi's Aastha Kunj Park

Three Men Arrested for Alleged Gang-Rape of Teen in Delhi's Aastha Kunj ParkPreviousNext

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped at gunpoint by three men posing as policemen in Delhi's Aastha Kunj Park on Monday evening. The accused—Asif and brothers Mukesh and Hemant Singh—were arrested after a brief exchange of fire. Locals had previously reported Asif carrying a knife and harassing couples, but no formal complaints were filed. The park's poor lighting and lack of functional CCTV cameras raised security concerns. Police have increased patrolling and are investigating if the accused targeted others earlier. Protests demanding women's safety followed the incident.
