In PS Karawal Nagar, Delhi, the rape and defamation incident was reported. A young man named Shahrukh is accused of hiding his identity, passing himself off as a Hindu, making friends with the victim, and then raping her.
“On June 9, 2023, a complainant, namely NNNN D/o BBBB R/o West Karawal Nagar Delhi, age 22 years, arrived at PS Karawal Nagar and reported that a boy, namely Shahrukh, hid his identity and misrepresented himself as a Hindu, and in October 2020, he be-friended with the victim and made physical relations with her,” said the police.
The victim eventually learned who the accused was, but by that point, he had already taken numerous explicit images and videos of her and allegedly threatened to post them online if she ended their relationship.
“Over a period of time, in January 2023, she came to know about his religion, she opposed the same and wanted to break up with him. But, during their friendship, Shahrukh had captured her obscene photos and videos with wrong deeds through WhatsApp video calls, about which she wasn’t aware. Later, he started to threaten her and pressurise her to befriend him, or he would share her obscene photos and videos on the social media platform, i.e., Instagram, etc.,” said the police.
Under the Indian Penal Code, a case has been registered.
Further probe into the incident is being conducted.
