Television actor Ashish Kapoor was apprehended by Delhi Police from Pune after a woman accused him of rape at a house party in the national capital, an officer said on Wednesday. Police said the complainant had met Kapoor on social media and alleged that the incident took place at a party in Delhi in the second week of August.

"In her complaint, she stated that Kapoor sexually assaulted her in a washroom," said the officer. According to police, the initial FIR named Kapoor, his friend, the friend's wife, and two unknown persons.

The woman alleged that after she came out of the washroom, Kapoor's friend's wife assaulted her.

Police said it was this woman who eventually made the PCR call to inform authorities. Kapoor was tracked to Pune and detained.
