TV Actor Ashish Kapoor arrested on Rape charges in Pune

Delhi Police have arrested television actor Ashish Kapoor in Pune following a serious rape allegation. A woman has accused him of sexually assaulting her during a house party in Delhi back in August. The arrest has shocked the entertainment industry and sparked widespread public discussion.

According to police, the accused and the complainant had connected on Instagram. She was then invited to a friend’s house party in Delhi, where the incident allegedly occurred inside a washroom. Following her complaint, law enforcement initiated an investigation and eventually tracked Kapoor from Delhi to Goa, and then to Pune, where he was detained.

FIR Filed, Charges Updated Following Statement Change

An FIR (First Information Report) was lodged on August 11, naming Ashish Kapoor, his friend, the friend’s wife, and two unidentified men. The woman initially alleged a group assault. However, she later revised her statement, saying it was only Kapoor who committed the rape, prompting police to adjust the charges accordingly.

Investigation Details: No Video Evidence Found

The complainant claimed that the assault might have been recorded on video, but investigators have found no such footage so far.

As of now, Ashish Kapoor remains in custody, and the investigation is underway. The case has stirred debate about consent, accountability, and the responsibilities of public figures when personal boundaries are violated.

No further statements have been released by Kapoor or his representatives. Fans of his work, including shows such as Saraswatichandra, Dekha Ek Khwaab, and Molkki Rishton Ki Agnipariksha, are closely following the developments.

The police and judicial system will now take the necessary steps to ensure that justice is served, based on the evidence and the statements of all parties involved.
