Three Men Arrested in Delhi Gangrape Case; Police Probe Conspiracy and Evidence Tampering

Three Men Arrested in Delhi Gangrape Case; Police Probe Conspiracy and Evidence TamperingPreviousNext

Delhi Police arrested three men—Asif, Hemant, and Mukesh—in connection with the alleged gangrape of a 17-year-old girl at Aastha Kunj Park, southeast Delhi. The accused reportedly posed as police officers to intimidate the victim and her friend. Investigations revealed that Hemant and Mukesh washed their clothes and deleted search histories after the crime, possibly to destroy evidence. Asif, identified as the alleged mastermind, was injured in a police encounter and had a history as a police informer. Police recovered a pistol, knife, and condoms from him, and all phones are under forensic examination.
