Three Arrested in Delhi Aastha Kunj Park Gangrape Case Following InvestigationPreviousNext

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped at Aastha Kunj Park in Southeast Delhi on her birthday. The accused, identified as Asif, Hemant Singh, and Mukesh Singh, were arrested within hours, aided by the survivor's detailed descriptions and local police knowledge. The men reportedly posed as police officers, threatened the victims, and used weapons during the assault. Investigations revealed attempts to destroy evidence, including washing clothes and deleting phone data. One accused had previously worked as a police informer, and police are probing possible conspiracy and prior offenses.
